Zhidan County
Zhidan (simplified Chinese: 志丹县; traditional Chinese: 志丹縣; pinyin: Zhìdān Xiàn) is a county under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Yan'an, in the northwest of Shaanxi Province, China, bordering Gansu Province to the south. The county has an area of 3,790.2 square kilometres (1,463.4 mi2), and a population of 141,600 as of 2012. Zhidan County and surrounding areas host oil drilling and industry.
Zhidan County is divided into 1 subdistrict and 7 towns.
The county's sole subdistrict is Bao'an Subdistrict, which hosts the county's government.
Zhidan County is home to the following 7 towns:
Zhidan County is located in the hilly Loess Plateau, and is approximately 90 kilometres (56 mi) northwest of Yan'an city proper.
The county's average annual temperature is 7.8 °C (46.0 °F), and its average annual precipitation is 524.5 millimetres (20.65 in).
The area now known as Zhidan County was formerly known as the town of Bao'an (Chinese: 保安; pinyin: Bǎo'ān; Wade–Giles: Pao An, Postal Romanization: Paoan) (corresponding to the urban core of today's Zhidan County). The town of Bao'an appears in many contemporaneous works and articles discussing the Chinese Civil War. The historical significance of the town of Bao'an arises due to its having temporarily served as the capital of the Communist-held regions of China in the midst of the Chinese Civil War. From early July 1936 to January 1937 Bao'an was the site of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party headquarters, as well as that of the People's Liberation Army.[citation needed]
Journalist Edgar Snow visited the communist leaders in Bao'an in the summer and fall of 1936, and named the third part of his book Red Star Over China after this town. He described the town as follows:
