The Former Site Of Zhaxi Meeting Of The Red Army

The Former Site Of Zhaxi Meeting Of The Red Army

The site is located at Zhaxi Town of Weixin County, Zhaotong Municipality. In 1935, the Central Red Army entered Zhaxi where it held the Enlarged Meeting of the Central Military Committee. The meeting paved the way for the later crossing over Jinsha River (the Gold Sand River, or the Yangtze River) and the successful fulfillment of the strategic goal of the Long March northwards to fight against the Japanese invaders.
In the Former Site, the residence, meeting rooms and utensils of the leaders of CPC Central Committee have been well preserved. So far, Zhaxi Meeting Former Site has been listed as a protected historical and cultural site by the provincial government of Yunnan.
