Guang’an, a peaceful and beautiful city in the east of China’s Sichuan Province, not only boasts Mount Huaying, the mountain best known for its Hongyan Spirit and revolutionary stories, but also is home to Deng Xiaoping, one of China’s greatest men. Deng Xiaoping was born in Guang’an in 1904 and lived there until he was 15 years old. He then left his hometown to study in France, Russia, and other countries, and gradually grew into a great man who had a significant influence on China and the world. What kind of cultural environment of Guang’an influenced Deng Xiaoping in his youth? How did the Mountain Huaying transform from a red guerrilla base into a tourist destination? All of these attract tourists from home and abroad to find out.Located in Xiexing Town, which is 7 kilometers away from downtown, Deng Xiaoping's Hometown Scenic Spot usually is the first stop for tourists. In the memorial park, the restored silkworm house yard, Hanlin courtyard, Dezheng Palace, the tomb of Deng Shaochang, and other places still have traces of Deng Xiaoping's life in his youth. Several historical buildings that have been preserved and are opened to the public display the learning and growth experiences of Deng Xiaoping in his youth. It's hard to know whether this relatively open new education in the early years in Guang' an left a mark on Deng Xiaoping's life and had a certain impact on the formation of his thoughts. It is worth mentioning that, Siyuan Amphitheatre in Guang' an downtown area echoes with the Deng Xiaoping Square in the center of Montargis in France, becoming the only two city squares in the world used to commemorate the great man.
In Guang’an, there is also a famous mountain named Mountain Huaying, in the tourist zone, stone forest, rift valley, red ruins, guerrilla memorial hall, the geological museum, and other scenic spots are scattered in the lush forest environment. The central peak Bao Ding boasts charming sight, lines of ancient temples. Here often appears the marvelous view of the sea of clouds, making the looming temples on the mountain top look like a heavenly palace. Tianyi Valley, the highest peak of Huaying Mountain, is famous for its wonders of Karst fractures. In the valley, ravines and gullies criss-cross while Tianhe waterfall could be the world's unique landscape. The natural scenery and the cultural landscape add radiance and beauty to each other, showing the charming of Guang' an. The magnificent mountains and green water probably is the reason that produces such great men.
