[quote=JABAROOTOO,363534]Hi Dave, Not sure why it's on your list but you've most likely done some research. I found this little bit of interesting history. I also find this map website useful for checking out road, rail, airports, and well known or famous sites. Jinggangshan city (Jinggangshan shi), also known as Ciping, is located in the southwest of Jiangxi Province, near the border with Hunan. This remote region is famous in China as the area where a young Mao Zedong and other communist leaders set up the rural Jiangxi Soviet, an outpost against Nationalist (Guomindang) suppression. It was from here, after the People's Liberation Army troops, led by Zhu De and Zhou Enlai, fled here from Nanchang, that the epic Long March (1934-1936) was to begin. This group were to advance, harried by Guomindang troops and bandits, on a circuitous route through some of China's harshest regions, finally arriving in the little town of Yan'an, northern Shaanxi. http://www.maps-of-china.net/province/jiangxim.htm Sure there is more out there. Haven't you got someone who can do a search in Chinese too. Sometimes this is the only way to get good information. Good luck J[/quote]
