Located in the south of Yan'an City in central Shaanxi Province and in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, Luochuan County is the "Hometown of Apples in China", with an area of more than 500,000 acres of apples planted, which are famous for their colorful, crispy and sweet flesh, and resistance to storage, and are exported to both domestic and foreign markets. Here is located in the hinterland of the Weibei Plateau, high altitude, large temperature difference between day and night, and sufficient light for the growth of apples provides a natural advantage. Luochuan is not only a large agricultural county, but also carries red memories - in August 1937, the CPC Central Committee held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Luochuan Fengjiacun (Luochuan meeting), which established a comprehensive anti-Japanese war route and became an important milestone in the history of the war of resistance against Japan. Nowadays, Luochuan has become a bright pearl on the Loess Plateau by integrating modern agriculture and red tourism.
