Why it is worth the detour
This compound was the city's police headquarters until insurgents seized it during the December 1927 Guangzhou Uprising and proclaimed an urban Soviet government. Visitors can trace the brief regime through its government offices, Red Guard command post, guard quarters and former detention building—the physical rooms of a revolution that survived only days.

The Guangzhou Uprising Memorial Hall was once the city's police headquarters, seized during the 1927 uprising. It offers a glimpse into the short-lived revolutionary regime through its preserved government offices and detention buildings.

Former National Government Site
This compound occupied the former Qing viceroy's headquarters attacked by Huang Xing's force during the Huanghuagang Uprising. In 1925 it became the seat of the National Government, but later rebuilding erased almost everything except the ceremonial gateposts—a thin architectural survivor linking an attempted revolution to a government born from it.
