Wangjiaping Revolutionary Site
王家坪革命旧址
The base of the Central Military Commission and the Eighth Route Army headquarters during the War of Resistance against Japan, next to the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall.
Wangjiaping is on the west bank of the Yan River, next to the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall. From 1937 to 1947, it was the seat of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and the Eighth Route Army headquarters. The site includes the Military Commission auditorium, a conference room and the cave dwellings where Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Ye Jianying and others lived. It also has the Central Military Commission operations room and other historic buildings. The site is small, and a visit takes about 40 minutes to an hour. Entry is free, but you must show your ID card at the gate. It is only a wall away from the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall. Visit the memorial hall first to understand the overall story, then visit Wangjiaping to see the original residences. It is in the urban area, within walking distance of the centre of Baota District.
