Revolutionary Site of Ruijin County
Located in Ruijin County, southeastern Jiangxi Province, at the western foothills of the Wuyi Mountains, the Ruijin Revolutionary Sites are among the most important historical landmarks related to modern Chinese history.
Known as the “Red Capital of China,” Ruijin was the political and military center of the Central Revolutionary Base Area during the Second Chinese Civil War period. From 1931 to 1934, it served as the headquarters of the Chinese Soviet Republic and the location of its provisional central government.
Today, the Ruijin Revolutionary Memorial preserves numerous historical buildings, documents, and cultural relics, allowing visitors to explore the history of this important revolutionary base.
The Historic Revolutionary Sites of Ruijin
The Ruijin Revolutionary Sites mainly include Yeping, Shazhouba, Wushilong, and Yunshishan, each representing an important stage of the revolutionary movement.
