The Ren Bishi Memorial Hall is in Bishi Town, Miluo City, Yueyang. It is the only memorial hall in China dedicated to Ren Bishi, one of the founding leaders of the People's Republic. Its Life and Achievements Exhibition Hall opened in 2002 and uses artifacts, photographs and recreated scenes to present his revolutionary career. About 1 km northwest of the memorial hall is the Ren Bishi Former Residence, a Qing-dynasty earth-and-timber courtyard house in the style of a southern Chinese farmstead. It is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. The two sites can be visited together in about 1.5 to 2 hours. Admission to the memorial hall is free, and it is usually closed on Mondays (check the official notice). The site is about 95 km from Yueyang city centre and about 1 hour's drive from Changsha.
