Yan'an is a city in Shaanxi province in China. The city is the
final goal of The Long March. It is a city literally carved in caves into the loess soil.
During 1934-5 the Chinese Communist Army completed one of the longest and most arduous forced marches in history, 6000 miles. Their path led from south-east China, west to China's most mountainous and rugged regions, then north and east to what became their base near Yan`an. Along the way the soldiers continually battled opposing military and difficult conditions. Initially a retreat, the march became a consolidation and training-ground for what was to become the Red Army of modern China.
