Must-See Places in Yan’an

Yan'an Revolution Memorial Hall (Baota, Yan'an, Shaanxi, China, 716000) is a must for anyone intrigued by China’s past. Open 08:00-17:00 (Apr-Oct) and 08:00-16:00 (Nov-Mar), this museum is packed with original artifacts, immersive exhibitions, and epic stories from the Communist era. Pro tip: Get here early for quieter, crowd-free viewing, and don’t miss the architecture.

Insider Tip: The museum’s layout is logical, starting with an iconic entrance hall and flowing through themed rooms that bring China’s history to life. Take your time in the architecture-interior sections—they’re not just about design, but symbolize historic events.

Getting Around: Local buses and taxis make Yan’an easy to navigate. The Memorial Hall is centrally located, so plan on walking or a short cab ride if staying downtown.

Food Recs: Try the local Shaanxi noodles at nearby cafes—cheap, authentic, and filling. Avoid peak lunch hours for fast service.

Extra Tips: All signage is in Mandarin, so basic translation apps can help. The venue is cashless-friendly but have some yuan handy just in case.
