Guidong Memorial Hall of the Red Army was established in 1976 with Guo Moruo’s autograph of the name of “memorial hall of Comrade Mao Zedong’s revolution activities carried out in Guidong county”. In 1982, the name was changed to “Guidong memorial hall of the red army” with Wang Zheng’s autograph.

The hall followed the flush gable roof style with groups of buildings. One lobby, one resting place, and three exhibition halls are set in this 3000square meters big memorial hall. 173 pieces of data and photos, 555 rolls literal data with over 10million words and 63 pieces of revolution relic are exhibited there. An 8.32 meters tall vivid statue of Mao Zedong wearing a bamboo hat is set in the yard of hall.

The architectural complex of Tang’s dwellings is also there. When Mao Zedong and his army arrived at Guidong county in August, 1928, he held the expansion conference of the front committee in Tang’s dwellings on August 23 at the same year. In the conference, they summarized the lesson of “the failure of August” and decided to come back to Jinggangshan. That conference played an decisive role on clearing the influence of “left trend” blind actions, recovering Jinggangshan revolutionary base, and improving & keeping Chinese unique revolution road of surrounding the cities from the countryside and taking the regime by force.
