Trip to Jinggangshan (井冈山)

Jinggangshan is known as the birthplace of the Chinese Red Army, where Mao Ze Dong and the communist armies retreated to consolidate their forces.

I was there for 2 days for a business trip at the end of Aug, so I made sure to wake up really early (5am) so I could get some traveling in before I had to fly out of the airport at 3pm. It was well worth it. I must say, Mao picked a really nice place to retreat to.

 Lookout point at one of the bunkers.

 Five Dragon Pool, where cable cars will take you down and up. Since I didn't have much time, I hiked down and took the cable cars up.

 

 
I love waterfalls! Here, there were a total of 8 falls that each fed into the next.
