About Xiaozhan Military Training Park

Its visitor buildings recreate a military environment through the Jiangwutang lecture hall, training administration, command residence and military-history displays. The distinction between reconstructed interpretation and surviving historic fabric matters here: the park explains a formative training site through a modern visitor setting. Focus on how instruction, command and barracks life differed from older military systems, rather than reading the rebuilt walls as untouched nineteenth-century remains.

What to look for

  • Jiangwutang, the reconstructed military lecture-hall setting.
  • The training-administration and military-history displays associated with the New Army.
