About Eighth Route Army Office in Wuhan

It was destroyed in a 1944 air raid, rebuilt to the original design in 1978 and opened as a memorial in 1979. Restored offices and bedrooms of Zhou Enlai, Deng Yingchao, Dong Biwu, Ye Jianying and others are shown with a permanent exhibition on Wuhan in the War of Resistance, refreshed in 2025.
