Founded in 1909, the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall is a "century-old military academy" and is famous at home and abroad. However, at the beginning of the founding of New China, the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army establishing a military school here is little known. From here, a large number of outstanding military generals represented by Zhu De and Ye Jianying, the founding fathers of New China, came out. The former site of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall Military Academy is located in Chenghuapu in the center of Kunming, adjacent to Cuihu Lake in the east, Qianju Street in the west, Cangyuan Lane in the north, and Yunnan Science and Technology Museum in the south.
The building on the old site is currently well preserved, it is a small building in the style of the Republic of China, elegant yellow building, and it looks very good to take pictures when the sun is good. The interior of the building is open as an exhibition hall, with a large classroom (auditorium), an arsenal, and long-term fixed exhibitions on the history of the lecture hall, the 99 Uprising and the National Patriotic Movement. In this warm early spring, it is suitable to meet three or five friends or family, quietly walk through the nearby tree-lined paths, and feel the strong historical atmosphere. The exhibits of the martial arts hall were all important materials of that era, silently narrating the story ...... of an era
The Yunnan Army Lecture Hall was therefore praised by Chairman Zhu De as the "melting pot of revolution" and recognized as the "cradle of generals". It can be seen that it has a unique historical position and far-reaching historical influence in Yunnan and even China's modern history.
The Yunnan Army Lecture Hall is antique, with green trees, clear lake water, elegant environment, and the fragrance of birds and flowers, which is a feng shui treasure land of outstanding people, in stark contrast to the liveliness of the green lake across the road. The Yunnan Army Lecture Hall is not only a revolutionary melting pot in China's modern history, but also trained a large number of military talents for the people's army in the early days of the founding of New China, which has played a huge role in defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and defending the security and stability of the motherland's frontiers.
After visiting the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall, my classmates and I booked Howard Johnson International Hotel in the City of Flowers on China-TravelNote and went straight, the hotel is very good, much taller than we imagined, when I went, it was more than five o'clock, and after checking in, I ate Yunkui bridge rice noodles there, maybe the rice noodles can best represent Yunnan, the streets and alleys are everywhere, and I have eaten a lot or Yunkui is the most memorable~ said that I will go again!
