Gannan Sheng Suwei'ai Zhengfu Jiuzhi, Historic site in Yudu County, Jiangxi, China
Gannan Sheng Suwei'ai Zhengfu Jiuzhi occupies He Wu, a former He family residence outside the north gate of old Yudu, Jiangxi. The compound covers 636 square metres and has front and rear courtyards with more than thirty rooms; the Gannan Provincial Soviet Government worked here from July 1934, and Mao Zedong stayed in the east wing in September–October 1934.
The Gannan Provincial Soviet Government was established in Yudu in July 1934 and set up its offices in the He family house, known as He Wu. It initially governed Yudu, Dengxian, Yangyin and Gan counties plus two guerrilla zones, later adding Xunwu, Huichang, Yuxi and Xinglongxunan'an. Before the Central Red Army's strategic transfer, it organized grain and fund collection and Red Army recruitment in Yudu.
Locals call the compound He Wu, or the He family house, after its original owners; it sits outside the old city's north gate on Wenjiao Road. The site is now part of the Central Red Army Long March Departure Sites, listed in 2006 as a national key cultural relic. The east wing where Mao stayed is the room visitors seek out.
The site sits on Wenjiao Road in Gongjiang Town, outside the old city's north gate, and is part of the Central Red Army Long March Departure Sites protected since 2006. The compound covers 636 square metres with front and rear courtyards and over thirty rooms, so allow time to walk between the courtyards and the east wing.
The house is called He Wu after its original owners, the He family, and stands outside the north gate of the old Yudu city. Its more than 30 rooms and 636 square metres made it large enough to house both the provincial soviet offices and Mao's east-wing room.
