Former HQ of the 129th Division
八路军一二九师司令部旧址
The wartime command center at Chi'an Village in She County, where Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping were stationed for five years. Next to it is the 129th Division Memorial Hall.
From 1940 to 1945, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's 129th Division was stationed in Chi'an Village, She County, where Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping and others directed the struggle of the Jin-Ji-Lu-Yu (Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan) Anti-Japanese base area. The site preserves the headquarters courtyard, the leaders' living quarters, the operations room, and the trees known as the 'General's Ridge' trees that Liu Bocheng planted with his own hands. Next door, the 129th Division Memorial Hall uses relics and photographs to present the history of the Taihang base area. It is a national key cultural relic protection site. Entry is free (advance booking or registration required) and it is about 10 km from Nüwa Palace, so the two can be visited on the same day.
