Naval Huangpu Military Expo Center (Huangpu Military Theme Park)

The Naval Huangpu Military Expo Center (Huangpu Military Theme Park) is a patriotic education base.

The Naval Huangpu Military Expo Center is located at the foot of Cheqi Mountain on Changzhou Island in Huangpu, Guangzhou, adjacent to the renowned former site of the Whampoa Military Academy just outside the center. It was once the training and drills ground for cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy. The center faces the largest port in southern China, Huangpu Port, across the river and enjoys convenient land and water transportation links with cities such as Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Hong Kong, and Macao.

Covering an area of 120,000 square meters, the center boasts unique geographical conditions and a beautiful environment. Approved by the Navy Headquarters in 1993, it was developed by the Navy 4307 Factory in 1994. In 1995, it was designated as a Patriotic Education Base and National Defense Military Education Base by the Guangzhou Municipal Government, and in 2000, it was named a “Guangdong Provincial Patriotic Education Base” by the Guangdong Provincial Government. The center showcases land, sea, and air military equipment, including pieces that contributed to the victories in various wars throughout the history of the People’s Republic. It also offers thrilling and innovative activities such as amphibious tank rides, live-fire shooting, paintball battles, and antique cannon firing, making it a new destination that combines national defense education, youth military-political training, special-interest tourism, and leisure vacations. With the ongoing development of Changzhou Island as a key tourist attraction in Guangzhou, the Military Expo Center continues to improve and grow, contributing to the promotion of the Huangpu spirit and the great cause of national reunification.
