Shenmu

Shenmu County is located in north Shaanxi, where the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia meet. It is the site of the “eve of Chinese civilization” - where you can find the Shimao Neolithic archaeological site. Shenmu was also a famous base of operations during the Revolution, and the Shenfu revolutionary base built here is one of the few Chinese Communist Party red bases that was preserved and not destroyed by the enemy. Major attractions include Shen (“Divinity”) Lake, Erlang Mountain, Tiantai (“Heavenly Platform”) Mountain, Longyan (“Dragon Eye”) Mountain, and the Gaojiabao Ancient City.
