Headquarters of the Military Armistice Commission – 1946 Site of the Chinese Communist Party Delegation

The 1946 site of the Chinese Communist Party delegation to the Military Armistice Commission is a municipal cultural heritage site and a classic red tourism destination in Beijing.

The 1946 site of the Chinese Communist Party delegation to the Military Armistice Commission is located

at No. 1 Dong’anmen Street, and is listed as part of the fifth batch of municipal-level cultural heritage sites in Beijing.

Built in the early 1930s, it originally served as the residence of the commander of Japanese forces in North China during the War of Aggression against China. On January 10, 1946, when Zhou Enlai, representing the Chinese Communist Party, signed the “Ceasefire Agreement” with the Nationalist government, this site served as the headquarters of the CCP delegation. The existing main building was reconstructed in the 1950s to replicate its original appearance. It has a T-shaped floor plan, with the main body consisting of two floors and the central part three, in a traditional Chinese architectural style.
