Site of the Zaokang Meeting (Dongyang Hall)

The Site of the Zaokang Meeting (Dongyang Hall) is a classic red tourism destination.

The Site of the Zaokang Meeting (Dongyang Hall) is located in Zaokang Village, Baisha Town, Shanghang County. Originally built during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli era, it was once the ancestral hall of the Yan family. On the eve of the Gutian Conference, the Fourth Red Army held two expanded meetings of its Front Committee here, collectively referred to as the “Zaokang Meeting.” The Zaokang Meeting is described as “a meeting of special significance in the history of our Party and our Army,” as it “laid the organizational and ideological foundation for the successful convening of the Gutian Conference,” thus becoming the “cornerstone” and “prelude” to the Gutian Conference.
