What’s the name of the attraction?
Yan’an Revolutionary
Memorial Hall
Daniel has visited Yan’an.
Yan’an sits on the banks of the Yanhe River, with hills all around it. It is a place full of history. I have been there recently.
Yan’an was the base of the Communist Party of China and has become a symbol of the Chinese people's spirit of never giving up during that difficult period.
If you want to know more about the history of the Communist
Party of China, I will recommend Yan’an Revolutionary
Memorial Hall. It is a large museum with a rich collection of
historical records including thousands of photographs. There
you will be able to learn a lot about our heroes’great efforts during hard times. It is important for us to remember those heroes.
