Why it is worth the detour
The former Huizhou Guild Hall served first as Kuomintang headquarters, where Liao Zhongkai was assassinated at the entrance in August 1925. Weeks later it became the headquarters of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, turning the scene of a political murder into the command center of a surging national labor movement.

This historic site served as the Kuomintang headquarters and later became the command center for the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, marking a significant moment in China's labor movement history.

Canton–Hong Kong Strike Committee Site
In 1925 striking workers transformed a former admiral's garden into the headquarters of the Canton–Hong Kong general strike, erecting simple bamboo and palm shelters across the grounds. Most buildings were destroyed by arson in 1926, leaving the old gate and a tree as rare witnesses before the red headquarters building was reconstructed on its original site.

Former Site of the First National Congress of the Kuomintang
Sun Yat-sen convened the Kuomintang's transformative 1924 congress inside this clock-towered school building, formalizing cooperation with Chinese Communists and the policies of alliance with Soviet Russia and support for workers and peasants. Three years later Lu Xun lived in the same building and wrote about its old clock tower, giving the revolutionary venue an unexpected literary afterlife.
