## About Liupan Mountain National Forest Park

Liupan Mountain is an oasis on the Loess Plateau, stretching over 1,000 km from north to south and more than 10 km from east to west. Scenic spots including Laolongtan (Old Dragon Pool), the source of the Jing River, Lotus Garden, Liangdian Gorge and the Red Army Long March Memorial Pavilion are spread across the Liupan range. Mao Zedong's 'Qingpingle: Liupan Mountain' was written as he crossed the mountains during the Long March, and its heroic spirit still resonates today.
