Site of the Panxian Conference

　　The Site of the Panxian Conference is located on the campus of Chengguan No. 2 Primary School in the ancient city of Panxian. Commonly known as the Nine-Room Building or also called the “Nine-Heaven Tower,” it was the headquarters of the Second and Sixth Corps of the Red Second Front Army of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. The famous “Panxian Conference” was held here, marking a strategically pivotal decision-making meeting for the Red Second and Sixth Corps. Originally built in the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928) by Huang Daobin, commander of the Fifth Division of the 25th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, as a military barracks, the structure features a wooden rigid-frame hip-and-gable roof, post-and-lintel construction, and a single-eave hip roof. Initially constructed as a three-story building, one floor was later removed due to tilting and instability, leaving it as a two-story building with one floor above ground and one below, each having nine rooms. The eaves are 5.31 meters high, the total width is 36.5 meters, and the depth is two bays at 11.2 meters, with a total floor area of 818 square meters. It has a double-step corridor at the front and straight lattice railings. In February 1992, it was designated as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit by the People’s Government of Guizhou Province. In October 1997, it was named a Guizhou Provincial Patriotic Education Base and a National Defense Education Base for All by the Guizhou Provincial Committee and Provincial Government.
