Huangyangjie Scenic Sport, one of the four major attractions of
Jinggangshan Scenic Area, is located in northwest of Ciping Town of
Jinggangshan City. Huangyangjie has not only steep mountains, but also many revolutionary sites and relics. It is almost a must-see place for tourists to come to Jinggangshan.
Huangyangjie was the most famous among the five passes in Jinggang Mountain. Constructed in the summer of 1928, Huangyangjie consists of 3 fortifications and 1 watchtower. On Aug 30, 1928, the famous battle for Safeguarding broke out here, when the Red Army beat off 4 regiments of the enemy with the force of less than a battalion and protected the Mountains. Mao Zedong wrote the "Xi Jiang Yue ? Jinggang Mountains" to celebrate the victory: "Flags of enemies are waving at the foot of the mountain, our war drums are pounding on the mountain top. Besieged by thousands of enemies, we remain calm and unmoved. We’ve been strongly fortified, and our unity of will is an impregnable stronghold. Guns are soaring at Huangyangjie, the enemies are busy escaping overnight".

In Huangyangjie, cliffs and abysses can be seen in the north where pines, bamboos and azaleas are all around; it is also gained the nickname of "ocean border" contributing to the seasonal change of climate that forms the smoky clouds and mist, which was praised in Chairman Mao's poem:" Beyond Huangyanggai, no place of danger arrests the eye."
