李济深故居
The former residence of Li Jishen, a left-wing Kuomintang leader and one of the founding figures of the People's Republic of China, whose fortified village complex with watchtowers is well preserved and is a national key cultural relic.
The former residence of Li Jishen is located in Liaoshen Village, Dapo Town, Longxu District. It is a national key cultural relic protection site. The complex is built into the hillside and consists of several grey-brick houses, watchtowers and walls, reflecting the defensive village architecture typical of rural Lingnan. Inside is an exhibition on Li Jishen's life, covering his role in the Northern Expedition, the founding of the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang and his service in the early years of the nation. Admission is low or free, and a visit takes about an hour. From the city centre of Wuzhou it is about a 40-minute drive, and it can be combined with a visit to Canghai Wetland Park.
