Nanshantou Revolutionary Site

　　A key patriotic education base and red tourism attraction in Daye City. Located in the southern part of Daye, it borders Sanxikou Town in Yangxin County. It is over 90 kilometers from Wuhan and 30 kilometers from Huangshi. In 1997, the Huangshi Municipal People's Government composed the inscription for the “Nanshantou Revolutionary Monument.” It was later designated as a patriotic education base in Daye City. Nanshantou is one of the earliest revolutionary bases led by our Party. In the autumn of 1928, the Daye County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established at Jinguang Ancestral Hall in Nanshan. The Eighth Red Army, led by Li Can and He Changgong, fought bravely here; the Fifth Red Army, commanded by Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan, also battled enemies here. After the liberation, over a hundred generals and marshals who had fought here, including Nie Rongzhen and Wang Ping, wrote inscriptions for Nanshan. General Zhang Zhen, former Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the CPC, inscribed the words “Heroic Daye, Cradle of Revolution” for Nanshan, which is a high tribute to the people of Nanshan in Daye.
