Former Site of the Xiangxing Command Post of the Central Fujian Guerrilla Column

The former site of the Central Fujian Guerrilla Column command post is a classic red tourism attraction.

The former site of the Central Fujian Guerrilla Column command post is located in Shanwei Natural Village, Xiangxing Village, Caixi Township, Xianyou County, Putian City.

The home of Lan Renshan in Xiangxing Village, Caixi Township, served as a liaison station established by Luo Yingxiang around 1946. In May 1947, the Central Fujian Guerrilla Column stayed here while operating in Xingtai Li, Xianyou. Just beyond Xiangxing Village, across a mountain ridge, lies the first stop of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee’s relocation to Central Fujian — Shanghu Di in Zhongshan. Shortly afterward, the Central Fujian Guerrilla Column moved from Xiangxing Village to establish its base at Shanghu Di.

The former site of the Central Fujian Guerrilla Column command post is a two-story civil structure made of earth and wood, consisting of four rooms with a total area of 100 square meters. In December 2011, the Party History Research Office of the Putian Municipal Committee provided it with protected status and installed a commemorative plaque.
