Yuanhou Red Army Crossing

Yuanhou Red Army Crossing is the main crossing for the right column of the Red Army when it first crosses Chishui. Yuanhou Town is 57 kilometers away from the urban area and is the southern gate of Chishui City. There is a monument built by the Chishui River in Yuanhou Town. The three characters "Red Army Crossing" are engraved on it. The font is in Mao Zedong's handwriting. It is a nationally protected cultural relic. On January 25, 1935, troops from the Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Red Division of the First Red Army arrived at Yuanhouchang, and quickly crossed the river in the early morning of January 26th and occupied the Yuanhouchang ferry. The victory of this battle opened a valuable passage for the Red Army to cross Chishui. On January 29, 1935, the First and Ninth Red Army Corps led by Lin Biao, as well as the Second and Third Echelons of the Military Commission led by Zhu De, crossed the Chishui River from Yuanhou and entered southern Sichuan, escaping the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang army.
