Cangxi combines red heritage with green beauty

Cangxi county, a former revolutionary base in northern Sichuan, has in recent years been preserving its red cultural heritage while vigorously developing eco-agriculture and rural tourism, transforming itself into a destination that is both livable and welcoming to visitors.

Cangxi county (literally "green stream county") is under the jurisdiction of Guangyuan city, Sichuan province. Located on the northern edge of the Sichuan Basin, the southern foothills of the Qinba Mountains, and the middle reaches of the Jialing River, derives its name from the phrase "dense trees lining the banks, forming lush green streams".

Established during the Western Jin dynasty, it boasts a history of over 1,700 years. This land has given rise to numerous influential scholars and military leaders, earning it a reputation as "the pure land of northern Sichuan, the cultural hub akin to Zou and Lu (the ancient heartlands of Confucian culture)".

During the revolutionary era, the Fourth Front Red Army established the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base here, and fierce battles such as the Huangmaoya Campaign and the Fourth Front crossed the Jialing River left deep red imprints on its mountains and streams.

Today, Cangxi combines economic growth with distinctive agriculture, a healthy ecological environment, and vibrant folk customs, alongside revitalized towns and countryside, making it a place well worth visiting.
