Former Site of the Political Department of the 30th Red Army

　　The former site of the Political Department of the 30th Red Army is situated in Zitong Township, Daxian County, Sichuan Province, approximately 60 kilometers from the county seat. Originally built as the estate of Du Guangting, the puppet militia leader of Zitong Township before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was originally named “Du’s Manor.” The entire estate was first constructed in the early years of the Republic of China and, through successive renovations, became a quadrangle courtyard with the distinctive features of rural northern Sichuan. The building structure features traditional post-and-lintel timber framing, red walls with wooden paneling, and gray tiled roofs. The entrance gate is a stone memorial archway commonly seen on rooftops in northeastern Sichuan. There is also a small garden on the roof. The estate covers an area of 1,200 square meters, with a construction area of about 620 square meters, and currently has 10 surviving rooms.
