百色起义纪念园
A red memorial park on Yinglong Hill with a museum, monument and bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping, the key site for understanding the Baise Uprising of 1929.
On 11 December 1929, Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Yunyi and others led an armed uprising in Baise, establishing the 7th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Youjiang Soviet Government. The memorial park is on Yinglong Hill in the east of the city. It includes the Baise Uprising Memorial Museum, a monument, a bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping and hiking trails. The museum presents the course of the uprising and the history of the Youjiang revolutionary base through artifacts, photographs and recreated scenes. Admission to the museum is free, and visitors must present an ID card. It is closed on Mondays (check the official notice for updates). It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre. The hiking trail has a considerable slope, so take care to avoid heat in summer.
