Xiang Jingyu's Former Residence & Memorial
向警予故居与纪念馆
Birthplace of Xiang Jingyu, a leading women’s movement figure in the early Communist Party of China. Her former residence and memorial in the county seat form a national 4A scenic area.
Xiang Jingyu (1895–1928) was born in Xupu. She was the first woman member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and its first head of the Central Women’s Department. Her former residence stands on the north bank of the Xushui River in Lufeng Town, the county seat. It is a brick-and-timber courtyard from the late Qing period, preserving the room where she studied as a child and furnishings from her family. Next door, the Comrade Xiang Jingyu Memorial Hall uses photographs and artifacts to tell the story of her founding of Xupu Girls’ School, her work-study trip to France and her devotion to the revolution. The memorial is a national 4A scenic area. Admission is free, but visitors must bring their ID card. A visit takes about 1 hour, and the site can be reached on foot or by taxi within the county seat.
