Xibaipo

Introduction

Located 80km (50 miles) northwest of Shijazhuang, Xibaipo was the village where Communist leaders established their base between 1947-1948. From Xibaipo, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De led the northern campaign against the Kuomintang.

The original village was submerged when Gangnan Reservoir was constructed, but this replica was created nearby. Xibaipo also has a Revolutionary Memorial Museum.
