This four-story U-shaped building with a silver-gray exterior and facing south was originally the Jiangxi Hotel. Construction began in 1922 and was completed in 1924. It adopts a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles. The exterior is decorated with Western-style cement reliefs on the doors and windows. There is a spacious patio inside the building with four large fire-proof water tanks, showing the unique pattern of traditional Chinese architecture.
At 2 a.m. on August 1, 1927, with a gunshot, the August 1 Nanchang Uprising that shocked China and the world started. Zhou Enlai, secretary of the CPC Front Committee, He Long, general commander of the uprising, Ye Ting, general commander of the front, Zhu De, head of the Third Army Officer Education Corps, and Liu Bocheng, chief of staff of the Military Staff Corps, led more than 20,000 uprising troops to fire the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, which announced the beginning of the Chinese Communist Party's independent leadership of the revolutionary armed struggle and the birth of the people's army. In order to commemorate this great event, in 1956, the People's Government established the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall, which was located in the former site of the then General Command.

The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is a special memorial hall established to commemorate the Nanchang Uprising. Its predecessor was the "Jiangxi Grand Hotel". In late July 1927, the uprising troops rented this hotel and held a meeting in the "Celebration Hall". On August 1, the Nanchang Uprising was launched. After that, many meetings were held here, and it became the command center for leading the uprising. The hall covers an area of 5,903 square meters.
The day I went there was the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, so there were quite a lot of people. I really think that having a lot of people is a good thing for this patriotism education site, especially when I saw that many of the visitors were young children. I was very moved. But because there were so many people, I only had a quick look around, mainly reading the text on the display boards and looking at related photos and pictures.
You can rent clothes at the entrance to change your clothes. People of all generations went there to change their clothes. Unfortunately, after changing their clothes, it felt like a wave of videos released by internet celebrities, lacking the serious atmosphere of facing history.
In addition to the exhibition hall, there is also a historical and cultural building, the former site of the Nanchang Uprising Headquarters. The former site is displayed in its original state, replicating the meeting room, Li Tang, guard room, living room, etc.
We have been grateful countless times that we live in such a peaceful era, but we should not forget the war-torn years and the pioneers who bravely moved forward in those difficult and arduous times.
The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is a special memorial hall established to commemorate the Nanchang Uprising. It was established in 1956 and officially opened to the public on October 1, 1959. The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is located on Zhongshan Road, Xihu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, covering an area of 5,903 square meters.
The basic exhibits of the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall include 509 pictures and charts, 407 cultural relics and 51 works of art. The exhibition contents mainly include: the Nanchang Uprising in the new building, the glorious history of the people's army and the restoration display of the old site.
The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is a national civilized unit, a national first-class museum, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national advanced collective in red tourism work, and one of the first national "Patriotic Education Demonstration Bases".
The third attraction on the first day in Nanchang. The weapons are worth a look, but I'm not very interested in anything else. The hotel was the meeting place for the uprising. Who is the owner of this hotel? He must be very courageous.
The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is rich in historical and cultural resources and red cultural resources. It is an important resource for carrying out patriotism and revolutionary tradition education and cultivating socialist core values.
It is free to visit with an ID card, it is worth a visit.
The August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall is one of the must-visit venues in Nanchang.
On November 10, 2024, I accompanied my mother to the birthplace of this heroic city and felt the moment of history, which was very rewarding;
It is very educational and free, but you need to renew your contract, so it is best to get in line early.
The environment is good and the price/performance ratio is good. Let's go and have a look.
The predecessor of the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall was the "Jiangxi Grand Hotel", which was the command center of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising.
I thought it was open all day, so I ran over at noon and saw a few people standing in front of me. I foolishly asked them what they were waiting for. . . . . . . . . A gunshot from the top of Nanchang City opened the curtain for our party's armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries~~
The August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is not far from Tengwang Pavilion. I remember learning in history books when I was a child that the August 1st Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot in the armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries. I didn’t expect that I would have the honor to visit here today.
There are many people during the festival. The red tour is worth coming.
There are guides in military uniforms explaining things inside, but remember not to take pictures of them.
The history learned from books is never as good as the detailed understanding of the old site.
A must-visit place in the red city. How to remember the five leaders? Just follow the order of "Zhu He Liu Ye Zhou".
Patriotism education base, free to visit with ID card, only half of it was open to the public when we went
I forgot to take pictures. I had limited time and took a quick look around. With government funding, the construction is quite good.
Emmm, cherish your happy life
The memorial hall was being renovated at that time, so I didn't have time to see it.
I like it very much. It's a good place to learn about modern Chinese history.
It is right next to the main road. You can enter for free with your ID card and view the pictures at your own time. You can store your luggage for free and view the pictures at your own time. There are free explanations, about once every half an hour. There are two floors in total, and the process of the Nanchang Uprising is mainly on the first floor.
A nice memorial hall, a must-visit place in Nanchang!
One of the must-see attractions in Nanchang, it is divided into two parts, the former headquarters site and the exhibition hall, where you can fully understand the story of the August 1st Uprising
Nanchang, where the military flag was raised ~ You should visit this memorial hall when you arrive in Nanchang
The memorial hall built on the site of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising gives a very comprehensive and detailed introduction to the entire process of the Nanchang Uprising, which is of great historical significance. The memorial hall is free to visit and you can enter by swiping your ID card.
Enter with your ID card, visit for free, and commemorate the revolutionary history.
At the entrance, you can rent a baby stroller or a disabled stroller for free by swiping your ID card, which is very humane and worthy of encouragement and promotion. The August 1st Memorial Hall has two floors, and the visiting time is within one hour. There are free explanations to guide everyone at regular intervals, which has won my silent praise.
Nanchang is famous for the August 1st Uprising. You can focus on understanding this period of history.
The introduction is very detailed and tells the story in a historical context. Tickets are free. We went there in the afternoon and waited in line for a while.
There are a lot of pictures and models in it, so it won’t be boring.
China is what it is today thanks to the efforts of these people!

Nanchang is most famous for the August 1st Uprising, so when you come to Nanchang, you must visit the memorial hall for patriotism education.
Transportation: From Nanchang Railway Station, take bus No. 52 to the entrance of the Memorial Hall
The museum opens at 9am. We arrived at 8:45am and there was already a long queue at the door. There were really a lot of people and the queue was very long. The museum opens on time at 9am and entry is free with ID card.
The memorial hall is divided into the old site and the new site. When we visited, the old site was under repair and the outer wall was fenced off so we couldn't get close. My mother said that she had participated in the interpretation work of the Nanchang Memorial Hall many years ago and had a deep affection for the old site. It was a pity that we couldn't enter the old site this time.
The new museum is an extension of the Nanchang Uprising and the concept of August 1st in different eras. The theme of the first floor is the Nanchang Uprising, recording various figures and events of that era, and there are professional guides in military uniforms. The second floor mainly displays the development history of the People's Liberation Army since its founding. Looking at various pictures and video materials, people are really passionate.
There is also a souvenir shop on the second floor. A bamboo hat costs 500 yuan. I laughed because my mother likes to save coins. I bought her a silver coin as a souvenir.
If you come to Nanchang, you must visit the memorial hall.
Free entry with ID card. It is still worth a visit, and it has some commemorative significance.
A must-see in Nanchang besides Tengwang Pavilion. I was filled with emotion when I saw the meeting hall where Premier Zhou planned the uprising. I thought about how a group of people stood there and discussed such things 90 years ago. At that time, those people probably could not imagine what a great thing they would eventually accomplish. The place where the military flag was raised!
I thought the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall was easy to find, but it turned out to be hidden in the downtown area. There was a big supermarket in front, an old market in the back, the Wanshouyuan under construction on the left, and an office building on the right. I walked around before I found it, and there was only one entrance, which was not very big. But the only good thing is that the memorial hall is free. Although it is not big, the things inside are quite complete. It tells the development history of our army from the early years of the Republic of China to the present, and there are many cultural relics and stories. It is quite good. Friends who come to Nanchang can come and have a look when they have time.
It tells about the various events of the Nanchang Uprising, you can go there. At that time, I met a tour guide with a group, and I followed behind and listened slowly.
A memorial hall, a public tourist attraction, was closed for maintenance on Mondays. I was surprised. I saw many people like me, looking through the railings, taking pictures and leaving.
Receive revolutionary history education, the guide's introduction is very good👍
The memorial is worth visiting to learn about our history and commemorate our martyrs.
It's worth a visit. As an ordinary party member, I was very excited when I came here. Not only did I relive the hard struggle history of our party, but I also felt the hardship and greatness of the revolutionary process. The museum is still very large, showing the process and scenes of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising one by one, with various objects, paintings, paper materials... Its scenery and layout are also a kind of art. Since you are in Nanchang, you should still visit the Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall to remember history and look forward to the future~
It has a strong sense of history. The spirit of the Nanchang Uprising is still there. Many old objects have a strong sense of age.
The place where the August 1st Army flag flies is a heroic city. You must visit the August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall to remember the martyrs and cherish the present.
Nanchang is a red city with many red education bases. The Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is one of them. It is located in the same garden as the former site of the Nanchang Uprising Command.
It's free to visit. Because it's the National Day holiday, there are more people, but I still waited for 5 minutes to get in.
No tickets are required, just swipe your ID card. There are not many people, from 9 am to 12 pm, and from 1 pm to 5 pm. You still have to go and see it to learn about the revolutionary history!
Why is it written here that maintenance is not allowed? I would like to ask those who have posted reviews during this date, how did you get in? Is there another entrance that I haven't discovered? ?
Nanchang is called the Hero City because it is the capital of Jiangxi Province and the first shot of the revolution! The August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall is a must-see for tourists visiting Nanchang. It is free to visit, just bring your ID card.
Walk out of the Provincial Museum and head east. After passing a pedestrian street, you will see a closed door amidst the crowded business crowd. This is the Memorial Hall of the August 1st Uprising. It seems that the hall is under renovation and you cannot enter.
Commemorate the heroes, cherish history, and let you and I remember
As a soldier, I was very excited to see the place I had read in history textbooks for the first time. However, the tense atmosphere of the war years was gone.
The memorial is free, but you need to exchange your ID card for a ticket to enter. When we went there, there were still a lot of tourists, and there were also newly enlisted armed police recruits entering to visit.
It has been closed for renovation since February 3rd. I found it closed as soon as I got off the bus. I can only go to the museum.
Those who are going in November
Pay attention
Closed for business these days
I traveled thousands of miles to find out
The August 1st Building, the first shot of the armed uprising, changed Chinese history from then on
You can get free tickets to the memorial hall with your ID card and experience patriotic education.
The memorial hall is free to visit, and you only need to swipe your ID card. The memorial hall is divided into two parts. One is the new hall, which is a modern building. It mainly introduces the causes and consequences of the Nanchang Uprising. The other is the historical building "Jiangxi Grand Hotel" built in 1924, which is the former site of the general headquarters. The two exhibition halls, the new hall displays pictures, texts, sound and light, and the old building is still displayed according to the layout of the houses at that time. It makes people recall that period of red history, and their hearts are ups and downs.
You can fully understand the whole process of the Nanchang Uprising, with explanations and very knowledgeable.
Every time I come to this place, I feel awe.
Tickets will no longer be released after 11:00 a.m., so you can only wait until 1:00 p.m.
Nanchang is a city of red revolution - those who like red revolutionary education can come here to learn about it. You can enter the memorial hall for free with your ID card. There were not many people when I went there. I went in and visited for a while. The place where the military flag was raised - Lao Jiang's inscription~
For red tourism, the August 1st Memorial Hall is relatively close to Tengwang Pavilion, about two kilometers away, and you can walk along the river. The memorial hall is full of revolutionary relics and exhibits, and of course modern man-made landscapes. It is not particularly large, but you can appreciate the red culture inside.
A must-see attraction in Nanchang, it records the history of 1927 and should not be missed.
Nanchang is called the Hero City because it is the place where the August 1st Uprising broke out. It was from here that the Communist Party began to have its own armed forces. August 1st was later established as the Army Day. The place where such a major historical event took place naturally needs to be studied and visited.
The time hadn't arrived yet, but the staff at the memorial hall had already impatiently rushed us out, hoping to get off work early.
1. Enter with your ID card and you can see it at the end of the pedestrian street. The road there should have been repaired now. There is a large shopping area there, very basic consumption.
2. I have been to the August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall twice. I think it is worth going. After all, it is a relic of history. Even though I didn’t like Nanchang very much at that time, the history is still spectacular.
3. There are free guides. Isn't that in line with public opinion? Haha!
The August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is free. You can enter the hall directly without taking a ticket after swiping your ID card to read the information. It is closed on Mondays and there is a lunch break at noon. The entire memorial hall is divided into two parts, one is the historical exhibition hall of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising, and the other is the headquarters of the uprising at that time - Jiangxi Travel Agency (the first and second floors restore the life scenes at that time). The historical exhibition hall basically covers all the historical events from the democratic revolution movement to the founding of New China, especially highlighting the theme of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising.
The August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall consists of two buildings. The new building is an exhibition hall with free tours. The statues of celebrities in front of the memorial hall are very lifelike. I stopped in front of the statue of General Su Yu for a long time and was impressed by the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen.
The memorial hall is located on the pedestrian street. It is divided into the new hall and the old hall. No tickets are required, only ID card registration is required. The original appearance of the old hall is well preserved. Many places reproduce the status quo during the revolutionary period. Visitors are not allowed to enter the room to play and can only watch at the door. The new hall gave me a surprise. Every once in a while, the staff of the hall will take tourists to visit. While listening to the passionate explanation of the tour guide, it is easy to feel the sense of substitution of the red era.
The August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is probably a must-visit for everyone who comes to Nanchang. Here I saw the shoulder straps of the Grand Marshal of the People's Republic of China that I had longed for (it is said that it was designed specifically for Chairman Mao, but Chairman Mao never wore it in his life). The site of the uprising is very impressive, the building was built a long time ago, and it has a sense of vicissitudes.
Seeing that this attraction is a red tourism, I have a perceptual understanding of that period of history. When I went there, I felt that the surrounding environment was noisy and a bit dirty. I hope it will get better in the future.
Enter the museum at 1:30 to experience the passion of the revolutionary predecessors
It doesn't make me curious, but it's a surprising and broadening vision.
A must-see place in Nanchang, where you can have a deeper understanding of that period of history.
Red tourism, you know, I'm not a party member, Axiba
The August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall is free to visit with an ID card. No one is allowed to enter without an ID card. When I went there, an elderly man wanted to go in with his marriage certificate, but was refused. Another thing to note is that there is a break at noon and the hall will be closed for rest, so try not to visit at noon, as you may be turned away.
It is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is the building you see when you enter the door. It is an old site. It used to be a hotel. The rooms inside were the residences and offices of the uprising personnel at that time. The second part needs to be walked back after coming out. After passing a row of bronze statues (including Premier Zhou whom I respect the most, the bronze statue has electronic equipment, can touch the screen, and there will be voice introductions of the deeds of the characters, etc.), it is mainly a museum-like venue, in which some items of the August 1st Uprising are placed, and there is also a staircase built in imitation of mountains and forests. Personally, I feel that visiting such places is actually to feel their historical significance.
A holy place for patriotic education, it must be full marks. There is an introduction video under each portrait in the square at the entrance, which is good. You can learn about their life history.
The August 1st Nanchang Uprising Monument and the Memorial Hall are integrated, so it is recommended to visit the August 1st Square first to get a preliminary understanding of the Nanchang Uprising, and then take bus No. 13 from the August 1st Square. After two stops, you will arrive at the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall; you can enter the Memorial Hall by getting a free ticket with your ID card. The first thing you see when you enter the scenic area is the sculptures of the leaders of the Nanchang Uprising, including revolutionary heroes such as He Long, Li Lisan, Wu Yuchang, and Peng Pai. Below the busts are the personal biographies and their life experiences. The first thing you see in the museum is a sculpture of a rifle. It was introduced earlier that this is to commemorate the first shot of the Nanchang Uprising, which is of great historical significance. The main part of the exhibition hall is mainly based on documents, which introduces in detail the historical background, process, influence, etc. of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising.
It is still worth a visit. It is free to visit and closes at 4 pm. There are two main places to visit inside. One is the exhibition hall, which has two floors. The first floor introduces the details of the process before and after the Nanchang Uprising, which is still knowledgeable. The second floor introduces the Jinggangshan spirit and the development of modern China, which is not worth seeing. Another place to visit is the former site of the Nanchang Uprising Command, the Jiangxi Hotel at that time, which has a total of four floors, and tourists can only visit the third floor. It is mainly to visit the building itself, and there are only some temporary exhibitions on the second and third floors. Overall, it is worth a visit.
The former site of the General Headquarters of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising is free to enter with an ID card. I only found out after I went there that it used to be a hotel and that the uprising took place there. It takes about an hour to visit.
One of the must-see attractions in Nanchang, where you can gain a deep understanding of the Nanchang Uprising. From here, you can go east to Bayi Square and southeast to Shengli Street.
It doesn't look big, but there are really a lot of things to see. It is a place worth visiting.
The Nanchang August 1st Memorial Hall occupies the five-story Hui-zi building at No. 380 Zhongshan Road. Its predecessor was the Jiangxi Hotel built in 1923. It was the most luxurious house in the Republic of China in the city at that time. In 1927, it was directly transformed into the headquarters of the Nanchang Uprising. When Zhou Enlai and He Long made the decision to start the revolution here, the brass telephone at the front desk was probably more nervous than the AK47. Now you can see the Hanyang-made, kerosene lamps and lanterns used by the rebels when you enter the door. The military maps and pocket watches in the war room on the second floor directly give you a hardcore script-killing sense of substitution. The old Ming Dynasty water tank in the courtyard witnessed the heroic gulping of boiled water by the rebels. The wax museum on the third floor reproduced the meeting scene on the eve of the uprising like a spy movie scene, and even the hot steam from the tea bowls was frozen in time for you. The revolutionary book wall in the backyard made the post-00s cry while holding their mobile phones and scanning the code. The VR experience area in the front hall allows people to wear equipment and high-five virtual rebel soldiers. Coming out of Exit 5 of the Bayiguan Subway Station is this living history textbook with gray walls and red windows. The surrounding Shengjin Pagoda and Wanshou Palace snack street are within walking distance. Tourists hold up military flag popsicles and take photos under the hotel sign. An old man, waving a palm-leaf fan, says that this building once received mysterious guests in long gowns and carrying suitcases. The creaking sound of the old floorboards in the corridor still carries the echo of two o'clock in the morning of August 1, 1927.
