Yan'an Pagoda Mountain
Pagoda Mountain is a very famous scenic area that combines natural scenery and cultural landscape and integrates historical relics and revolutionary sites. It symbolizes the famous historical city of Yan'an and also represents a sacred revolutionary shrine. It is not only a landmark building of the city of Yan’an but also a must-go place for visiting Yan'an.The Pagoda Mountain is 1,135.5 meter high, with a pagoda on the top of the mountain. Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, it is currently seen as a building of the Ming Dynasty. In the shape of a level octagon, the pagoda, as a brick tower, has nine floors with a height of about 44 meters. After the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China settled down, the pagoda became a landmark and symbol of a revolutionary shrine.
After the founding of new China, the State Council listed the Yan'an Pagoda as one of the Yan'an revolutionary sites on the list of the first batch of major historical and cultural sites protected at the national level, graded as AAAA.
