Gouba Conference Site
苟坝会议会址
The site of the Gouba Conference held during the Long March, with a timber-frame farmhouse compound in a northern Guizhou village and the Lantern Path red trail.
The Gouba Conference Site is in Gouba Village, Fengxiang Town, Bozhou District. In March 1935, the Red Army held a Politburo meeting here that set up a new military leadership group, and the story of Mao Zedong persuading comrades on a night walk by lantern light is widely told. The site is a traditional northern Guizhou courtyard house with an exhibition hall nearby, and the surrounding area includes the Lantern Path walking trail and fields of flowers and rice paddies. Admission is free by advance reservation. It lies about 45 kilometres from the city centre and can be combined with a visit to nearby Huamao Village in one day. Allow about 1.5 hours.
