Shazhouba Revolutionary Sites, Revolutionary historic site in Shazhouba, China.
Shazhouba Revolutionary Sites in Ruijin, Jiangxi, comprise two groups managed by the Ruijin Central Revolutionary Base Memorial Hall: the Hongjing group in Shazhouba Village, with 35 former residences and sites including eight national key cultural relics units, and the Great Hall group, which contains the Second Soviet Congress site, the former Central Revolutionary Museum and a display on the Chinese Soviet Congress system.
Ruijin was the seat of the Chinese Soviet Republic's provisional central government from November 1931 until the Red Army's Long March in July 1934. The Shazhouba sites were listed in 1961 among the first national key cultural relics protection units, and in 2006 the former site of the People's Commissariat of Food was added. Most buildings were demolished after the Long March; those standing today were rebuilt or repaired to their original appearance after 1949.
The sites display historical photographs and documents that show how people were involved in the political changes of that era. Visitors can see how these places shaped the hopes and commitment of those who gathered there.
Visiting works best with a guided tour from Ruijin, where guides provide explanations in Mandarin Chinese. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since you will walk between several buildings spread across the grounds.
The site is managed by the Ruijin Central Revolutionary Base Memorial Hall, which splits it into two groups: the Hongjing group in Shazhouba village, with 35 sites and landscapes and 8 national key cultural relics units, and the Great Hall group, which holds the Second Soviet Congress venue and the Central Revolutionary Museum site.
