Site of the Third National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party

Why it is worth the detour

At an inconspicuous house here in June 1923, Communist delegates made the contentious decision to join Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang as individuals while preserving their own party organization. The house was destroyed by Japanese bombing, but archaeological work recovered its foundations, now displayed beside the museum as evidence of the meeting that prepared the First United Front.

This museum marks the location of the Third National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, where key decisions were made about cooperation with the Kuomintang. The original house was destroyed, but its foundations have been preserved and are displayed alongside the museum.

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.
