Why it is worth the detour
In 1926 Mao directed the sixth class of the Peasant Movement Institute, housed in the old Confucian temple of Panyu county.
The Peasant Movement Training Institute in Guangzhou is a museum dedicated to the revolutionary history of China, originally a training school for rural political activities during the First United Front. It offers insights into the early collaboration between the Nationalists and Communists.

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.
