About Xibaipo
The visit combines exhibition galleries with reconstructed offices, residences and the Seventh Central Committee's Second Plenary Session meeting place. The distinction between original location and reconstruction matters: the old village was displaced by Gangnan Reservoir, and the headquarters were recreated on higher ground in 1970. The reservoir-facing setting helps explain that change in the landscape.
What to look for
- The exhibition galleries explaining the leadership's period at Xibaipo.
- The reconstructed headquarters compound and Second Plenary Session meeting place.
