Wuchang Uprising Memorial (Red Building)
湖北军政府旧址
The seat of the Hubei Military Government after the 1911 Wuchang Uprising, known as the 'Red Building', an iconic landmark of the Xinhai Revolution.
The Red Building was originally the Hubei Provincial Assembly building, completed in 1910. On 10 October 1911, after the Wuchang Uprising succeeded, the Hubei Military Government of the newly founded republic was established here, and Li Yuanhong was elected military governor. It symbolises the first uprising of the Xinhai Revolution and is a national key cultural heritage site. The museum has recreated the military government's offices and conference hall, and includes an exhibition on the uprising. Admission is free but requires advance booking, and the museum is closed on Mondays. Located at the north end of Wuchang Uprising Square, at the southern foot of Snake Hill, it can be linked on foot with the Yellow Crane Tower and the Xinhai Revolution Museum.
