Muyunshan Red Culture Tourism Area

The Muyunshan Red Culture Tourism Area is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a classic red tourism destination, and a patriotic education base.

The Muyunshan Revolutionary Base Memorial Park is a national patriotic education base and a protected revolutionary memorial site in Hainan Province. In June 2001, it was designated as a National Patriotic Education Demonstration Base by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China. The managing authority is the Civil Affairs Bureau of Ding’an County.

The Muyunshan Revolutionary Base Memorial Park is located on the former site of the Red Army parade ground command platform in Zhongrui Farm in southern Ding’an County, Hainan Province. Covering an area of 20 mu with a total investment of 2.3 million yuan, the park features a 3.5-meter-tall bronze statue of General Feng Baiju and Chairman Wang Wenming, a key founder of the Qiongya Revolution, at its center. The park includes an exhibition hall, reception room, duty room, inscription pavilion, lakeside pavilion, rockery pond, two stone lions, main gate, enclosing wall, and parking lot, with a total construction area of 5,394.6 square meters. The two-story exhibition hall, with a main building area of 689.46 square meters, displays historical materials and precious cultural relics from four phases of Hainan’s revolutionary struggle during the entire New Democratic Revolution period. These include various daily items, work tools, weapons, flags, seals, and historical photos used by soldiers of the Qiongya Column.

The Muyunshan Revolutionary Base Memorial Park was approved for construction in 1992 by the Hainan Provincial Committee and Government, with the preparatory work overseen by a preparatory committee chaired by a provincial leader. Official construction began on October 16, 1993, and the park was inaugurated on August 1, 1996, opening to the public on the same day.

Three inscriptions in the memorial park, including "Introduction to the Muyunshan Revolutionary Base," were erected in the name of the Hainan Provincial Committee and Government of the Communist Party of China. The two inscription pavilions feature calligraphy from leaders at all levels, as well as a "Honor Roll" of donors from various governments, organizations, and individuals.

Muyunshan is located in southern Ding’an County, spanning over 100 square li. With its high mountains and dense forests, and its strategically challenging terrain, it served as an important base for the Qiongya Revolution. During the Agrarian Revolutionary Period, Muyunshan housed the three leading bodies of the Qiongya Special Committee, the Qiongya Soviet Government, and the Red Army Independent Division. In March 1928, the Kuomintang’s Cai Tingkai Division arrived in Qiong to “encircle and suppress” the Qiongya Revolution, and the anti-encirclement efforts by Qiongya’s military and civilians suffered setbacks. By the end of that year, Wang Wenming, Chairman of the Qiongya Soviet Government, led his forces to relocate to Muyunshan, establishing a revolutionary base and preserving the revolutionary spark for the first time. In June 1929, the Red Army Independent Regiment was established here. In April 1930, the Fourth Congress of the Communist Party of Qiongya was held at the Muyunshan Revolutionary Base, where important resolutions such as launching the “Red May Military Offensive” were made. In August, the Red Army Independent Division was formed at Muyunshan. That same month, the Second Qiongya Congress of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers was convened at Muyunshan, establishing the Second Qiongya Soviet Government.

In July 1932, Chen Hanguang’s unit of the Guangdong Provincial Government Guard Corps of the Kuomintang arrived in Qiong to “encircle and suppress” the Qiongya Revolutionary Base. After the Red Army’s failed resistance, Feng Baiju led over 100 party, government, and military leaders of the Qiongya region along with the guard troops in a protracted struggle against the enemy at Muyunshan, with only 25 eventually surviving. After more than eight months of arduous and extraordinary resistance, they successfully broke through the encirclement in April 1933, preserving the revolutionary spark for the second time.
