Former Site of the Taizhou Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign Command Headquarters

　　The Former Site of the Taizhou Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign Command Headquarters is situated in Baima Town, Gaogang District, Taizhou City. The Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign was a strategic offensive operation carried out by the People's Liberation Army during the Chinese Civil War, after the victories in the Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin campaigns. This site served as the Eastern Front Command Headquarters for the campaign. Originally a landlord’s estate, the complex includes a main gate, ceremonial gate, main hall, wing rooms, and a rear building. It once housed the bedrooms and offices of military leaders such as Su Yu, Zhang Zhen, and Zhang Aiping. The East China Military Region Navy was also proclaimed here on the small building within the site. The historical exhibition is divided into five sections: pre-campaign situation, preparations for crossing the river, breaking through the river defenses, encircling and annihilating fleeing enemies, and glorious achievements. It systematically presents the glorious chapter of the Third Field Army, under the unified deployment of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the overall command of the General Front Committee for the Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign, in “crossing the Yangtze River to liberate all of China.” The former sites of the Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign Command Headquarters and the Birthplace of the Navy are iconic stops on the red tourism route.
