About Peng Zhen Memorial Hall and Former CCP Taiyuan Branch Site
The former Shanxi First Provincial Middle School, set in the old provincial examination compound beside Wenying Lake, where a socialist youth group was formed in 1921 and the Taiyuan branch of the Communist Party, the first party organisation in Shanxi, in 1924. It is now a memorial museum with exhibitions on Peng Zhen, Gao Junyu and He Chang, who studied there, and on the history of the party in Shanxi, including a reconstructed Republic-era classroom. Three rows of Qing-style classrooms and the principal's office from the school stand beside the newer memorial building.
