Most of the town has now been set up for tourism, with many hotels and dining facilities, and as a patriotism education center. Some of this is worth visiting, since the "city" has a rural charm, and the sights are propagandorially interesting. These include the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum (Jinggangshan gemin bowuguan), that used to house the Red Army Dormitory (Gemin jiuju) and Mao's House (Mao zedong guju), and the Former Revolutionary Headquarters (Gemin jiuzhiqun), the communist command center in 1927-28. |

| It is the sights out of town that are of most interest, however, up in the mountains. This is a wild area, that is full of walking and hiking trails and the chance to experience a little of what the communists must have lived like. Maps of the area, not overly useful, can be bought from the bookstore of the Cuihui Hotel at Hongjun nanlu. Tours or cars can be booked through local hotels or through China Travel Service (Zhongguo luxingshe, Tel: 0792-6552504). Probably the best of the sights for rural walking and beautiful scenery are the Five Dragon Pools (Wulong tan), about 10km northwest of town, although the higher area, the Five Finger Peaks (Wuzhi feng), also known as Jinggangshan, are better known.
