Site of the Mumen Conference
     An important military conference site of the Fourth Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and a cultural relic protection unit of Sichuan Province. It is situated at Mumen Temple in Mumenchang, about 35 kilometers southeast of Wangcang County, Guangyuan City. Originally built during the Zhenguan era (627–649) of the Tang Dynasty, Mumen Temple has undergone several destructions due to warfare. The current wooden structure, featuring a post-and-lintel style, was constructed during the Qing Dynasty. It consists of the main hall, side rooms, and the mountain gate, covering an area of 1,800 square meters.

     In late June 1933, the headquarters of the Fourth Front Army held the historically significant Mumen Conference at Mumen Temple. This conference played a crucial guiding role in the establishment of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base, the expansion of the army, military operations, and the subsequent northward march of the Red Army. The conference site has been largely preserved in its original state—the main hall of Mumen Temple served as the meeting venue. The side rooms were used as work and rest spaces for some of the Red Army's senior leaders. Although the side rooms have been modified, their locations and basic layouts remain unchanged.
