Today we made our way to Yan'an, famous for being the final resting place for those on the Long March and the CCP headquarters for a brief time. When the diminished communist armies pitched up here at the end of the Long March, it signaled the beginning of Yan'an's brief period in the Sun. For 12 years, from 1935 to 1947, this backwater town was the CCP headquarters. We arrived late and visited the Headquarters site. The caves where Zamora lived in simplicity were interesting. The place was swarming with Chinese tourists. The assembly hall was cool, looked exactly as in the photos. Tomorrow we visit the Chinese Central Communist Party Museum.
