About Gutian Congress Site
The Liao clan ancestral hall in Gutian town, built in 1848 and later used as a school, where the Fourth Red Army held its ninth party congress on 28–29 December 1929 and adopted a resolution drafted by Mao Zedong that set the principle of party control over the army. The restored hall shows the meeting room and the offices used by Mao, Zhu De and Chen Yi. The 5A tourist area around it also takes in the Gutian Congress Memorial Hall, a museum opened in 1974, and nearby houses that served as the army's headquarters and political department.
