The Former Site of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui District Committee of the Communist Party of China is located at Wangjia Lao Wu in Baishuihe Village, Huashi Township, Jinzhai County.

In June 1938, the Anhui Work Committee of the Communist Party of China relocated here from Taoling along with the New Fourth Army supply station. The committee was led by Secretary Peng Kang, with organizational committee members including Zheng Weixiao, Huang Yan, Liu Shunyuan, and Yu Ping, overseeing the work of three central county committees in Lu'an, Shouxian, and Taihu, as well as the Shu-Wu Special Committee.
