Zunyi is endowed with attractive scenery of
verdant mountains and elegant waters. In January 1935, a group of political and
military leaders, who were dressed in gray army uniforms and octagonal service
cap, held a significant meeting here to turn around the future of the Chinese
people and the Chinese revolution, which made Zunyi world-famous, and became a
holy site for tens of millions of Chinese people and a sacred spotlight
nationwide.
Zunyi was entitled to be a great monument, a
beacon light and a broad picture.
Situated in the northern part of Guizhou
Province, Zunyi belongs to the northern section of the eastward slope in the
