   - 很资深
   Historic Sites
   比较袖珍，但是珍藏量很大，是中国新闻界的资深代表。一直没时间写旅游心得，这次在友人的督促下写，突然觉得很有必要，仿佛又回到了那个地方，很神奇、不断让人震撼的地方，回味一遍。 See more..
   
5. 4.5 Zaoyuan Revolutionary Site of Yan'an (33 reviews)
   - interesting visit
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites
   
   
   saw how the Maoist leaders lived. Amazing. So committed. . The rooms were spartan with minimun furniture. Mao had his own wooden bathtub. See more..
   
6. 4.5 Revolutionary Memorial Hall (Geming Jinianguan) (27 reviews)
   - Essential Chinese CP history
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
   
   
   This is the mother ship of Chinese Communist Party history as well as a total veneration of Mao. In addition to a wealth of charts, maps and photos depicting the era of the 20's through 1949, the museum presents spin and revisionist history at its best. All of the significant events have English descriptions. Seeing "purges" described as "party rectification" and reading of defeats described as "strategic movements" lends enjoyable irony to the exhibit. See more..
   
7. 4.5 Qingliang Mountain of Yan'an (10 reviews)
   - Long hard climb if visiting in winter ...
   Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM Mountains • Caverns & Caves
   
   
   Visiting in the middle of winter, we found the way up extremely long and difficult. Add in the steep sections and slippery steps iced over in places, making theis site unsuitable for anyot who isn't reasonably fit. Grippy shoes are a must !! The views from the top were great though, and made it all worthwhile. The descent was even harder than the wsy up, as we kept worrying about slipping on an icy patch on the steep steps. Highly recommended to visit, but arrive prepared. See more..
   
8. 4.5 Xuanyuan Temple (6 reviews)
   - 中国文化的起源，黄帝的陵墓
   Wednesday: 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM Ancient Ruins • Religious Sites
   
   
   这里很气阔，经典很有特色。给人一种肃然起敬的威严感，广场也很漂亮，很宽敞，景点就是应该这样，而不是那种一进去拥拥挤挤的感觉，还去看了导游说的“千年古树”，很粗壮，就是不是知道是不是真的，几千年，确实，中国文化上下五千年啊！这一趟可以深深感受历史的熏陶！ See more..
   
9. 4.5 Wanhua Mountain (3 reviews)
   - 每年的春夏时节，姹紫嫣红的牡丹竞相盛放，香气袭人
   Mountains
   
   主要是两个方面可看： 1.木兰陵园，喜欢历史文化的朋友应该会很喜欢。环境挺清幽的，可以静静的看看。 2.牡丹花，这里是中国四大牡丹原生地之一，牡丹花相当有名，花季去看的时候，百花争艳，真的特别震撼！ 交通的话，离市区也不远，开车一会功夫就到。 重点是门票便宜吧，35元，这么美的景色，性价比高。 景区山上还有滑道、山下有湖可以划船。娱乐项目也做得比较好。 推荐度：5星

10. 4.5 Yan'an Revolutionary Site at the Foot of Fenghuang Mountain (3 reviews)
    - 挺好的。
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites
    因为去的是革命旧址嘛，到处都是怀旧的气息吧。我记得好像住的是窑洞吧。冬暖夏凉的。挺好的。推荐带着孩子去忆苦思甜一下。 See more..
    
11. 4.5 Yan'an Folk Culture Village (2 reviews)
    - 民俗文化村，浓重的民俗气息！
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    这里距离延安还不算远，景点也蛮大的，里边什么也有，都是陕北这边的特色，各个县区的特色，不管是住房，穿着，都显示出了浓重的民俗特色，让人耳目一新。那里的小吃也很不错，这里的村民也很热情，让人心里暖洋洋的，是一个值得来的地方！ See more..
    
12. 4.5 Yan'an Wangjiaping (2 reviews)
    - 革命老区，很真切的生活
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites
    刚到的时候觉得环境不错，深入了解才发现原来生活很艰苦，看到大堂还有人在小木板凳上认真的听课，心情仿佛回到了革命期间。 See more..
    
13. 4.0 Baota shan (27 reviews)
    - Baota Shan & Pagoda
    Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 9:30 PM Mountains • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    We visited Baota Shan and chose to climb up the Pagoda. For the climb up, be prepared for the very narrow passageways and stairs that lead 9 storeys up to the top. As the space is very narrow and only one way, be prepared to give way by walking backwards if there are people coming from the other direction. Not recommended for those who are claustrophobic.

14. 4.0 Yangjialing Revolutionary Former site (15 reviews)
    - Headquarters of China's Communist Party
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites
    
    
    I visited this place as part of 2D1N Yanan/Hukou tour from Xian. Those who are keen in Chinese political history will probably enjoy this place more than the casual tourists. This site was generally well maintained and preserved, such as the auditorium & the residences of Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou Enlai and other Chinese Communist Party's early leaders. Worthwhile to visit if you are in Yanan region. See more..
    
15. 4.0 Yan'an Luyi Site (1 review)
    - 还不错
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Ancient Ruins • History Museums
    这里曾经举行过无数次革命文学活动，当时的音乐、戏剧对鼓舞民心抗战起着重大关键作用，宣传了和平，鼓舞壮大了人民不畏惧艰难险阻共同斗阵的志气。 See more..

18. 3.5 Yan'an Baota Pagoda (11 reviews)
    - The precious pagoda symbol of Yan’an
    Ancient Ruins • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    This is a 44-metre high, octagonal, brick pagoda. It is a protected national relic, the symbol of Yan’an, and located on the top of Baota Hill (Pagoda Hill), which is 1136 metres in height and overlooks Yan'an City. Similar to many pagodas in China, it is illuminated in the evening. President Xi Jinping has referred to Baota Mountain as the symbol of the Chinese Communist revolution. The pagoda was originally built during the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907), and rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). An inexpensive way to get to the pagoda is by bus # 1 or #3. They can be boarded at Yan'an Railway Station, or anywhere along their routes. There is a 65 rmb admission fee to tour the pagoda. See more..
    
19. 3.5 Nanniwan Revolutionary Site (4 reviews)
    - History unfolds as you walk through the courtyards
    Wednesday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Historic Sites • History Museums
    
    
    We were excited to see the dwelling place of the late Chairman Mao, and were rewarded with photos and artefacts in his humble abode. Whilst there, we saw a group of high school students dressed in blue revolutionary uniforms being educated in the history of their glorious revolutionary leaders. Do visit if you are keen in China's past. See more..
    
20. 3.5 Yan'an News Memorial Hall (3 reviews)
    - 延安许多博物馆之一，没太多显著特点
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Ancient Ruins • History Museums
    
    
    馆不是很大，也没有免费开放，里面主要是延安新华社 广播站等的纪念地 由于这边博物馆特别多 因此这个不是特别突出 参观的人很少 See more..
