  The Hadapu Red Army Long March Site is located on a street approximately 1,200 meters long, consisting of 382 shops. This is the longest street that the Red Army passed during the Long March and the one that retains the most complete original appearance from that time. Luo Kafu, Executive Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Economic Daily, referred to this street as the "First Street of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Long March" in his article titled "The Party Must Command the Gun." The "Yihechang" Pharmacy is situated on the upper street. It consists of three northern rooms and eleven southern storefronts facing the street, all of which are flat-roofed tile houses. The northern rooms are the original structures, with the central hall serving as the office of the CPC Central Committee at the time, the left room being Mao Zedong’s living quarters, and the right room Zhang Wentian’s living quarters. Above the central doorway hangs a plaque inscribed with "Hadapu Memorial Hall," written by the former General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee. The storefronts facing the street were rebuilt to resemble their original appearance and originally housed the pharmacy. The "Postal Agency" is located diagonally opposite, about 10 meters west of the

The current main hall, side halls, and connecting corridor were all restored and rebuilt in 1989 to resemble their original appearance. Approximately 100 meters southeast of the "Guandi Temple" lies the "Zhang Family Courtyard." The eastern, western, and southern buildings are original structures, while the northern building is a three-room, two-story wooden structure restored to its original appearance. The upper floor was He Long’s living quarters, and the lower floor housed Ren Bishi, [Name redacted], Xiao Ke, and Guan Xiangying. The east wing room was Li Da’s living quarters, and the west wing room was used by the guards. A plaque hanging above the gate, inscribed with "Former Headquarters of the Second Front Army of the Red Army," was written in 1995 by General Xiao Ke, former Deputy Commander of the Second Front Army of the Red Army. Hadapu marks a milestone in the Red Army’s northward march during the Long March, serving as the turning point where the victorious completion of the Long March was imminent. Due to its unique historical significance, it has been recorded in the glorious annals of China’s revolution and was referred to by General Yang Chengwu as the "fueling station" of the Red Army’s Long March.
