Deng Xiaoping's Hometown
邓小平故里
A national 5A scenic area in Paifang Village, Xiexing Town, where Deng Xiaoping was born and grew up. His former residence, exhibition hall and memorial hall form a continuous route.
The site is located in Xiexing Town, Guang'an District. Its core is the three-courtyard former residence where Deng Xiaoping was born and lived until the age of 15. The courtyard's furnishings recreate how the family lived at the time. Nearby are the Deng Xiaoping Former Residence Exhibition Hall, the Memorial Hall, the Hanlin Courtyard, the Stele of the Divine Path, the Ink Washing Pool and the Virtuous Governance Archway. The grounds are lush with trees, and a walk through takes about 2 to 3 hours. Admission is free, but you must book in advance through the official WeChat account and enter with your ID card. The exhibition hall may be closed on Mondays. It is about 20 minutes by bus or taxi from the city center.
