Hongyan Village Revolutionary Memorial
红岩村
The site of the CCP Central Committee’s Southern Bureau and the Eighth Route Army’s Chongqing Office during the War of Resistance. Zhou Enlai worked here for long periods.
Hongyan Village lies on the bank of the Jialing River near Hualongqiao in Yuzhong District. From 1939 to 1946, it served as the base of the CCP Central Committee’s Southern Bureau and the Eighth Route Army’s Chongqing Office. Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu, and others worked and lived here. In 1945, Mao Zedong also stayed here during his visit to Chongqing for negotiations. The surviving buildings include a three-story house, air-raid shelters, and the former residence of Rao Guomo. The nearby Hongyan Revolutionary Memorial Hall displays a wealth of historical materials. Entry is free but requires ID or a booking. Allow about 1.5 hours. It is near Hongyan Village Station on Metro Line 5, and it can be combined with Liziba and Eling on the same day.
