Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army Xi'an Office
八路军西安办事处纪念馆
A red heritage site in Qixian Village on Beixin Street, once a “red bridge” that sent many young patriots to Yan'an during the War of Resistance against Japan.
The Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army Xi'an Office is in Qixian Village on Beixin Street in New City District. The site was originally a group of Republican-era courtyard houses. From 1937 to 1946 it served as the Eighth Route Army's Xi'an office, where Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi and others worked, and many patriotic young people passed through on their way to Yan'an. The hall recreates offices, a radio room and other spaces, and hosts thematic exhibitions. Admission is free, but you need to bring your ID card. Closed on Mondays. It can be visited together with the Zhang Xueliang Mansion and Xincheng Square.
