Yan'an, located in northern Shaanxi Province and situated along the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is a sacred place of the Chinese revolution. Revolutionary leaders of the older generation, such as Mao Zedong, lived and fought here for thirteen years, leading the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Liberation War, nurturing the Yan'an Spirit, and making tremendous contributions to the Chinese revolution. Yan'an boasts the largest number, the most widespread distribution, and the highest-level revolutionary sites in the country. It serves as a national education base for patriotism, revolutionary traditions, and the Yan'an Spirit. Yan'an is home to nine revolutionary memorial museums that house a large number of important items left behind by the central Committee of the Communist Party of China and revolutionary leaders of the older generation during their time in Yan'an, earning it the reputation of "the Museum City of the Chinese Revolution."
