In sigaba songshubao, you can clearly see the whole terrain, landform and folk architectural style of lan'an. Sigaba songshubao is the best viewing platform. According to legend, this is the place where the five dragons live. The five dragons often play in this place. The Qiang people suffered a lot, so they opened an altar to pray for the help of the gods. The immortal was moved by the piety of Qiang people, so he used the dome cage high blockhouse to suppress the five dragons. After the rebellious dragon was suppressed by the dome cage high blockhouse, he tried to overturn the high blockhouse, and his body expanded rapidly. Seeing that the high blockhouse was about to be overturned by the dragon, the immortal waved his magic soldiers to cut the back of the Dragon into three sections, and the back of the dragon was broken, and immediately turned into five winding mountain ridges (see, there are still some stones left on each ridge so far) The Dragon Ball turns into a round mound, dominating the plain and overlooking the vicissitudes of the world. Since then, it has formed this unique landscape with great ornamental value.

The Red Army left the country on December 19 and lasted 49 days. During this period, a regional guerrilla force was set up and land reform was carried out. It is one of the local organizations established by the Communist Party of China during the long march.

Hometown of the long march

At the beginning of November 1935, under the leadership of Luo Binghui, political commissar he Changgong, chief of staff Guo Tianming, Xu Shiyou, political commissar Wang Jian'an, and chief of staff Zhang zongxun, the 32nd and 4th Red Armies went along Danba, Kongyu, Jintang, and maigang to the border of Kanglu counties. In mid November, the Jintang County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established in gang'an, with its office address here. It has jurisdiction over Jintang District, Yutong District, KONGYU district and lan'an District Committee. The county Party committee consists of the Organization Department, the Propaganda Department, the women's work department and the Communist Party department. Li, Secretary of the county Party committee (whose name has not been verified), and Li Bo, Secretary of the major Communist Party Department (formerly named Gou Xinyang, served as deputy political commissar of Jinan Military Region after the founding of the people's Republic of China). After the establishment of the county Party committee, the Soviet government of Jintang county (located in Tangba) was established. The chairman was a cadre of the Red Army. The masses called him chairman Jiang (whose name could not be verified), and vice chairmen Tang Xianyun and Chen Guoyu. After seven bloody battles, more than 600 Red Army officers and men died here. With their lives and blood, they built the first red Soviet government in Kangqu. It sows revolutionary seeds in lan'an, leaving many slogans, slogans, policy guidelines and many heroic stories.
