Yuedong Guild Hall (Former HQ of the 7th Red Army)
粤东会馆（红七军军部旧址）
A Lingnan-style guild hall built by merchants from Guangdong in the Qing dynasty. It was the headquarters of the 7th Red Army during the Baise Uprising, and its carved beams and painted rafters are well preserved. It is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
Yuedong Guild Hall sits on Jiefang Street in the old town of Baise. Construction began in the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty. Merchants from Guangdong built it as a hometown guild hall at the Youjiang River trading wharf. It is a brick-and-timber structure with three courtyards, and the clay sculptures, woodcarvings and paintings on its roof ridges show the classic Lingnan style. During the Baise Uprising in 1929, it served as the headquarters of the 7th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and its Front Committee. It is now the former headquarters of the 7th Red Army and operates as an exhibition site. It is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. Admission is free, and it is generally closed on Mondays. It sits in the centre of the old town and can be explored on foot together with Jiefang Street and Zhongshan Bridge.
