The
Sichuan-
Shaanxi border area of Tongjiang was the headquarters location for the formation of the
Fourth Red Army, which became part of the
People's Liberation Army. A cliff with a carved slogan "", which translates roughly to "Communization All of Sichuan" or "Redden All of Sichuan", is a well-known landmark in the area. Tongjiang is also known for its local specialty of cooked
Fungus, and is known colloquially as the “” or "Hometown of Chinese White Fungus", and is listed for national protection as the originating region of this product; much like Champagne is in France. ==Climate==
