History
In early 1928 Zhu De's troops, survivors of the Nanchang Uprising, Little Long March and Battle of Shantou, found refuge here with the local warlord. Chen Yi was with him; neither dared reveal his identity at the time. It was from here that a rested and bolstered communist column marched to the Jinggangshan Mountains in April to join the hold-outs from another uprising.
County town
The county town is at the border between Hunan and Guangdong. The national highway from Guangzhou to Beijing passes through the middle of the town.
Environment
A beautiful tourist park is Mangshan Mountain National Forest Park. The 1902-meter peak of Shikengkong ({{zh|c=石坑崆|labels=no}}), on the interprovincial border, stands some 50 km south of the county town.
Mangshan pitviper and Mangshan horned toad have been described as new species to science from specimens collected from Mangshan (Mount Mang).
