Huangpu Military Academy is located on Changzhou Island, which is quite far from us, but the transportation is quite convenient. Take the subway, and there are many tricycles after exiting the station. They can take you to the pier for 10 yuan each and take a boat to the island. Huangpu Military Academy is a free attraction. You can exchange tickets with your ID card and visit the headquarters of Huangpu Military Academy, the Memorial Hall of the Xinhai Revolution, etc.

The simple gate makes you feel like you have traveled back to the war-torn era. The school headquarters has restored everything from that time, including the principal's office, student dormitories, study rooms, offices, canteens, etc. It seems that you can imagine the students' study and life here at that time...

By Sergio D |

This is an important step taken by China on the road to building a strong military, and it was also the highest-level military academy in the country at that time. Friends who are interested in historical humanities and military themes can consider visiting it, which is very meaningful.



It is recommended to take Subway Line 5 and get off at Yuzhu Station, walk about 1 km from the station to Yuzhu Wharf and take the ferry to the Military Academy Wharf (you can also take a three-wheeled motorcycle for 10 yuan; the ferry goes every hour, leaving Yuzhu at 15 minutes per hour and leaving the Military Academy at 47 minutes per hour). Tickets are free and you can collect them with your ID card. I hope the above information can help you!

Many people must be familiar with Huangpu Military Academy, which is also one of the must-see attractions in Guangzhou. Huangpu Military Academy is on an island, so it is more troublesome to go to Huangpu Military Academy from the city. You must first take the subway to Yuzhu, take the bus from Yuzhu to Yuzhu Wharf, and then buy a ticket to take a boat to Huangpu Military Academy Wharf. Be sure to calculate the time in advance.

No tickets are required for the Whampoa Military Academy. Only the yellow house and the dormitory require tickets. You need to queue up with your ID card to get the tickets, but please note that you are not allowed to enter after 4:30. The exhibition history is in the innermost hall. You can see it. The original military academy was bombed in the war. This is rebuilt for tourists to learn from. I visited the teacher's office, the president's accommodation, and the student cafeteria. There is also an exhibition hall in the military academy, which charges 10 yuan per person and 5 yuan for students. There are military aircraft, tanks, missiles, etc. inside. If you are interested, you can take a look.

On June 16, 1924, with the help of Soviet advisers, Sun Yat-sen founded a school for training military cadres here. It was originally named "KMT Army Officer School" and later renamed "Republic of China Army Officer School". Because it is located in Huangpu District, it is commonly known as Huangpu Military Academy. Huangpu Military Academy is the product of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and occupies an important position in China's modern and contemporary history.

On September 17, 1930, the Whampoa Military Academy moved to Nanjing. In 1934, the Nationalist Government established the Whampoa Naval School on the site of the Whampoa Military Academy. In 1938, Japanese planes bombed Changzhou Island and the school headquarters was destroyed by the Japanese army. The buildings that survived the bombing included Sun Yat-sen's former residence, Premier Sun's monument and memorial room, and the military academy club.

In early May 1996, the Guangzhou Municipal Government spent more than 20 million yuan to rebuild the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy. The school headquarters was rebuilt in accordance with the principle of "original location, original scale, and original appearance" approved by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and was completed on November 12 of the same year.

The Whampoa Military Academy held seven consecutive sessions from the first session, training more than 17,000 teachers and students in the early stage, including many famous generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, such as Lin Biao, Xu Xiangqian, Chen Geng, Guan Linzheng, Hu Lian, Wang Yaowu, Song Xilian, Zheng Dongguo, Du Yuming and Dai Anlan, etc. Among the ten founding marshals awarded in 1955, five were from the Whampoa Military Academy, and there were also three generals, eight lieutenant generals, and nine lieutenant generals, all from the Whampoa Military Academy.

It is recommended to walk after getting off the pier and visit the shops on both sides; the local resident's motorcycle costs 10 yuan per trip. Since there are not many tourists who choose motorcycles, the motorcycle drivers are irritable, so it is recommended not to ask the price casually.

Although it is called an old site, in fact, everything has been built later. It is said that the original building was bombed flat long ago. The park is not big, and everything is on display, which is very suitable for those who are interested in historical humanities and military themes.

By wxya |

Take Metro Line 5 to Yuzhu Wharf. It's still a bit far to walk to the wharf. There are tricycles soliciting passengers at the subway entrance. They cost 5 or 10 yuan. If you don't want to walk, you can take a seat to the ticket office at the wharf. Although the ferry runs on schedule during weekdays, there will be extra boats during holidays, so don't worry too much. Although the transportation is not very convenient, I was still very excited to see the words of the Army Officers School. It was all worth it.

By KK |

The tide of anger is surging, the party flag is flying, this is the Huangpu of the revolution! The doctrine must be implemented, the discipline must not be relaxed, and we must be the pioneers of struggle!

As a history lover, you must visit the Whampoa Military Academy. The old site is on Whampoa Cheung Chau Island, which is a bit far away...

It is hard to find a time when there is no one at this famous school gate to take a panoramic photo. But standing here, you can still feel the passion of the passionate young people during the Great Revolution.

Tickets: 15 yuan, 10 yuan for students. Free for people over 70 years old.

I took Line 8 from Zhongda to the terminal Wanshengwei, then took bus 262 to Xinzhou Wharf and took the S5 ferry. Many of them were found in the guide. I hope it is useful to you.

By Mingle |

The Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou is worth a visit, after all, so many famous generals came out of it. There are also explanations in the academy, and you can take a ferry to get there.

By Taishada |

If you are afraid of death, don't enter this door. If you want to get promoted and make money, please go elsewhere!

By Smiling at the wind and clouds |

The cradle of Chinese generals and the holy land of democratic revolution are worth a visit. However, the transportation is a bit inconvenient and it is a distance away from the city center.

Here I will recall the school days, which were really wonderful. I believe everyone wants to relive the school days. Two dramas a week will take you back to those unforgettable days.

The Whampoa Military Academy is located on Changzhou Island in Guangzhou. It is one of the four largest military academies in the world. It was destroyed by Japanese aircraft bombing as early as 1938. The old site was rebuilt in 1966. It is a bit far from the city, so it is not convenient to go there by yourself.

By God knows |

You can still visit it. There is a historical museum inside, which introduces the development history of the Whampoa Military Academy and the school buildings of the Whampoa Military Academy. After all, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's founding of the Whampoa Military Academy was a major event in China's modern history. It was a major event that changed the course of Chinese history. It was the first time that the Chinese revolutionary forces had a real army. It was a great event.

By One-half Linda |

Maybe it's because I read a book called "West Point Military Academy" when I was a child, so Huangpu Military Academy is the most scenic spot in my mind during this trip to Guangzhou. The transportation is a bit inconvenient. You need to take the subway, bus and boat to get there. The boat runs quite frequently, basically every ten minutes, and you need to prepare 2 yuan per person in cash. You can exchange your ID card for tickets to the attractions related to Huangpu Military Academy. You can visit Sun Yat-sen's former residence, the former site of Huangpu Military Academy, Sun Yat-sen Memorial, and the artillery fort a little further away.

By China-TravelNoteVivi |

It was my dad who originally suggested that we come and see it. Tourist attractions with historical stories are indeed different from other popular online places. They are thought-provoking and have a profound feeling.

By Continuous |

Bring your kids to experience it. Mainly look at the photos and practical information. The time of the ferry⛴️ is very important.

By freeze |

If you have plenty of time and are interested in military and history, it is recommended to go there. Because it is on Cheung Chau Island, you need to take a boat to get there.

By Jiushe Wealth |

The original site was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War. The current site was rebuilt in the 1980s at a one-to-one ratio of the old military academy. The Whampoa Military Academy is the cradle of high-ranking generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Go there to feel the passionate years of the past.

By Nan Yuxi |

The Whampoa Military Academy is the most famous military school in modern China. It has trained many commanders who are famous in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Chinese Civil War. The main generals came from the first to sixth classes during the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The purpose of the academy was to train officers for the national revolution. It was the main military force of the National Government's Northern Expedition to unify China.

By China-TravelNote users |

I feel particularly moved by this place where so many revolutionary fighters studied!

By Xiling Pork Chops |

On the island, you can only take a boat from the city. There are many tourists. It is one of the main destinations in Guangzhou. The scenic area is relatively small and it feels like there is not much to see.

By Maizitun |

The ticket is free, but you need your ID card to redeem it. The place is far away, so you can only take the subway to Yuzhu Station, take a black motorcycle for 10 yuan, and then take a boat. It seems that you can also take a boat from other docks, but I didn't research it~ The Huangpu Military Academy is not very big. It is still quite beautiful in the sun. You can also see where the students used to eat, sleep, and have classes. Of course, there are some old photos~

The transportation is not very convenient. I took a taxi from where I lived, which cost more than 100 yuan. The return boat took a long time to wait. The ticket is free, but I feel that there is still a lack of content inside.

By No striker |

Take a boat from Yuzhu Wharf to the entrance. Transportation is quite convenient by boat, but it is difficult to take the bus. The ticket is free, but you have to collect it. There are many tourists and a monument to President Sun. Many stores are closed due to maintenance.

By Blue Sea |

As a revolutionary site in Guangzhou, it is worth a visit.

By Kawanishi Zefan |

It is also highly recommended from a spiritual level. In China's modern and contemporary history, the Whampoa Military Academy is an unavoidable existence.

I am curious about who funded Mr. Sun Yat-sen to run the school and select the site to realize the Three Principles of the People. The architecture of Lingnan Siheyuan is very distinctive, but it does not look like a school at first glance. The small island of Changzhou by the Pearl River is not very convenient to enter and exit in Guangzhou today, but it is here that one of the world's famous military schools has been created.

By Yun Zhonghe, the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis |

Enthusiastic young people can go there to experience the revolutionary spirit. The overall building is basically renovated and not very ornamental, but there are many objects and documents from the Republic of China period.

By Eatate |

It is rather troublesome to go to the Whampoa Military Academy from the city. You must first take the subway to Yuzhu, take the bus from Yuzhu to Yuzhu Wharf, and then buy a ticket and take a boat to the Whampoa Military Academy Wharf.

No tickets are required for the Whampoa Military Academy, but please note that entry is closed after 4:30 p.m. The history exhibition is in the innermost hall, which you can view. The other sections are similar. The weather is really hot, so please avoid the heat.

By Suhai |

I used to think this was just an ordinary historical site.

On a hot summer day, I came here by boat with my friends. There were a lot of people here, but it was still quite cool because there were many trees.

A free attraction, but it greatly exceeded expectations

I really like this place. It feels like I can see the life of former officers here. The canteen where they eat, the classroom where they study, their library and their dormitory.

You can also understand that their lives must have been very hard at that time.

The ticket is completely free, but you need to swipe your ID card at the intersection to get the ticket before entering.

By Beautiful little days |

The visiting time of the Huangpu Military Academy is that no one is allowed to enter after 4:30 pm and the visit ends at 5 pm! So friends who are interested in the Huangpu Military Academy must plan their time well when they go there!

The Whampoa Military Academy is a legend in modern Chinese history. When you come to Guangzhou, you must visit the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy.

The main campus of the Whampoa Military Academy is a Lingnan ancestral hall-style quadrangle building, a two-story brick and wood structure, three roads and four entrances, that is, three main passages and four rows of houses. On the east and west sides of the north-south central axis, the houses are arranged in the same form and are symmetrical to each other. The four rows of houses are connected by corridors and surrounded by walls, with a construction area of 1,060 square meters. The school has six departments under the prime minister, the president, and the party representative, including politics, professors, coaches, management, military supplies, and military medicine. The total number of institutions is about 40, and there are also student dormitories, canteens, exhibition rooms, etc.

A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the presence of immortals; a river is not famous for its depth, but for the presence of dragons. Although the conditions of the Whampoa Military Academy were simple, it was a gathering place for many heroes and famous generals, and it has important significance in China's modern history and military history.

The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy is located on Changzhou Island in the Huangpu District. The Whampoa Military Academy was a new type of military school established by Sun Yat-sen with the help of the Communist Party of China and the Soviet Union during the Great Revolution. Its significance in modern Chinese history and military history is well known to everyone. Most of the buildings of the military academy were destroyed by Japanese aircraft in 1938 and restored to their original appearance in 1965.

It is worth a visit. Take the ferry from Yuzhu Wharf to Huangpu Wharf and get the ticket with your ID card.

You can walk to the pier from the subway station, but you must calculate the time in advance, as the boat runs every hour. The passenger boat has air conditioning and the ticket price is 2 yuan, which only supports cash and WeChat payment. After arriving at the pier, the tickets for visiting the attractions are free, but you need to show your ID card.

The scene in the military academy was right in front of me. The original military academy had been bombed in the war, and this was rebuilt for tourists to learn from. I visited the teacher's office, the president's residence, and the student cafeteria, all of which were simple routes.

By Childlike innocence |

The location of the Whampoa Military Academy is a bit remote, which shows the difficulty of building the school at that time. The guide said that it was bombed and only a dilapidated house was left. What we see now is the result of later repairs. The school motto of "Love and Sincerity" goes straight to the heart. In that period of blood and tears, there is also the iron-willed toughness and the feelings of family, country and the world.

By Shake it. |

Huangpu Military Academy must have been very difficult. When I got out of Yuzhu subway station, I saw a deserted construction site. The ferry departed every 15 minutes from 7am to 7pm.

After we arrived, there were two or three families who missed the boat like us because there were no more tickets at 4:30 pm, so we were very anxious. The staff asked us to go to the window next to us (there were only two windows in total) to take the boat. We arrived at Xinzhou, and then we grabbed a bicycle after getting off the boat and followed the crowd. The road was not easy to walk on, but it was right to follow the crowd. Sure enough, we arrived near the military academy in a short while, and then we parked the bicycle and went up a big slope to arrive. Finally, we were not late.

So if you are like us and have not arranged your time well, don’t despair, you can go to the nearby place, but the road will be a bit bumpy.

Only the yellow house and the other dormitory require tickets. You need to queue up with your ID card to get the ticket, and you have to queue up for a while to get in. Tickets will not be issued after 4:30 pm, and you can't visit after 5 pm. You must pay attention to the time. The small house is actually just a round of the yard, you can't go inside to see

When we left Huangpu Military Academy, we went to the dock of Huangpu Military Academy to take the boat. I didn't know how much closer it was. But there were really a lot of people queuing. The boat would leave at 47 minutes at each time, so you must queue up in advance.

It's not interesting, just looking around, similar to a memorial hall. However, there are so many people, all of them are grandpa and auntie from travel agencies. I have been in Guangdong for half a month, and no other scenic spot I have been to has as many people as this one.

There were already quite a few people in the Whampoa Military Academy early in the morning. There was an egg-yellow building with a small attic inside, which was Sun Yat-sen's former residence. All the buildings here, whether former residences or old sites, were very new, as if they had been renovated just yesterday. It was really nice.

The exhibition hall tells the story of Sun Yat-sen's life and his years at the Whampoa Military Academy.

By Who am I? |

The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy is quite far from the urban area of Guangzhou, and it is also on an island. After an hour and a half of wandering, we finally arrived at the ferry. It was already 4 o'clock! The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy stopped admittance at 4:30! Fortunately, when we arrived at the ferry, we were about to board the ship. Because the museum was about to close at 5 o'clock, we only had half an hour to visit it. Almost everyone was just rushing around, because the staff were also closing the open doors one after another at this time. It made everyone like fleeing, crowding and pushing to see what they wanted to see.

Of course, half an hour passed quickly, and the staff and security guards began to drive people away. We had no choice but to leave the memorial hall with a sense of unfulfilled desire. Of course, taking a group photo was inevitable.

By The future of tourism |

Take the subway to Yuzhu Station on Line 5, follow the subway signs to choose an exit, or ask the subway staff "Which exit is more convenient to go to the pier". There will be many motorcycles when you walk out of the subway. There are four of us, so we found a three-wheeled motorcycle. You have to bargain with them at this time, otherwise you will definitely be ripped off. Just give 10 yuan. Go to the pier and take the ferry to the Huangpu Military Academy. The ferry fare is 2 yuan, which is super cheap. You can see the warships opposite the pier, which is the Huangpu Military Academy. After getting off the boat, go straight to the ticket office to get the free tickets. There were a lot of people that day, and many exhibition halls were under maintenance, so I missed several exhibition halls.

The Whampoa Military Academy is located on Cheung Chau Island. The waterway from the mainland to the island is not far. The scheduled boat runs only once in a long time and runs very slowly. It feels like you can get there before the boat if you swim. I originally thought that this place would not have many tourists, but I didn't expect that there were more people visiting than any other park I have been to.

The places that can be visited at the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy are divided into several areas. The small yellow building is the former residence of Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

The school headquarters is a two-story brick-and-wood building with three main passages and four rows of houses. There are fish ponds in the two courtyards on the first floor. Changzhou Island is very large, and there is also a cemetery for the martyrs of the Eastern Expedition that we searched for a long time but couldn't find. The wind on the island was strong, so my husband and I took the regular boat back to the city after visiting the main attractions.

Worth a visit!

After visiting the school building and learning about the history of Huangpu, I seemed to see the predecessors of that era fighting for their ideals with passion, united as one, for the country and the people!

Rigorous academic style, new teaching methods, tight educational funding, but it has produced countless heroes and is worthy of admiration!

History cannot be learned by just reading and memorizing. It is very rewarding to touch the few remaining historical sites with your feet! Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles!

As time goes by, only the ancient trees outside the school have grown taller, which is really sad!

The old site is located on Cheung Chau Island, far from the city, but it is not difficult to get there if you take the right road. You can take a bus to Yuzhu Pier first, and then take a boat to the Whampoa Military Academy Pier, which is very convenient. The boat at Yuzhu Pier runs every hour, so you need to calculate the time. The Whampoa Military Academy Pier is right next to the old site, and you can walk a few dozen meters to it.

The ferry from Yuzhu Wharf to Whampoa Military Academy departs every 15th day of every month, with one departure every hour.

The entrance fee to the Whampoa Military Academy is free. There is also an exhibition hall in the academy, which charges 10 yuan per person and 5 yuan for students. There are military aircraft, tanks, missiles and so on inside. For a girl who is not familiar with military affairs, it is better to take a quick look.

Can I say that it's meaningless? I came all the way here, but in the end, there was nothing.

By Rain dampens the dust |

The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy includes a series of buildings, of which only the academy and Sun Yat-sen's former residence are open to the public. There is also a Sun Yat-sen Memorial on the opposite hill.

The entire school was rebuilt in the 1980s and looks like a large courtyard with different entrances and exits.

At the innermost entrance, there is an introduction to the Whampoa Military Academy.

It's quite a feeling to take a boat across the river at the ferry next to it

The Whampoa Military Academy is a bit far, about half an hour from the city center, free admission, closed on Mondays, divided into three parts: the military academy headquarters, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and Sun Yat-sen Memorial

It only costs two yuan to take a boat from Yuzhu to the military school pier, because there is a naval camp next to it. I saw the navy brothers playing football on the basketball court. Because of the tight time, I only went to the monument, the club, Sun Yat-sen's former residence and the school headquarters. My father was very satisfied. When leaving, you can take a cruise directly to the waist, which is pretty good.

You can take the elderly to see it. It's just so-so, but not amazing.

The historical value of China's Whampoa Military Academy is self-evident.

A group photo was taken at the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy. The Premier Sun Memorial. Most memorials are facing north and south, but this one faces south and north. It is said that it implies Sun Yat-sen's last wish to conquer the Central Plains and unify China. But, why are there no tour guides in any memorial hall in Guangdong?

This place of great significance in modern Chinese history is worth visiting. The old rooms and facilities show what it means to "start from scratch". There is a pier at the entrance of the military academy, and a military port in use next to it, where many active warships are moored. You can go there by land, and then take a ferry from the pier to enrich your journey.

To be honest, I didn't take a good look at it at that time.

In fact, they are all rebuilt, but I am so excited that I have to take the ferry to see it.

The Whampoa Military Academy is a military academy jointly run by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It is famous for its brilliant generals and celebrities.

Take subway line 5 to Yuzhu station, and you can take a motorcycle taxi from the subway entrance. A car with 4 people costs 15 yuan to Yuzhu Wharf. The boat to the military academy leaves at 15 minutes every hour, and the boat back leaves at 47 minutes every hour. You have to calculate the time well, otherwise you will have to wait for 1 hour for the next one. The attractions are free, the main attractions are very concentrated, and other small attractions are far away. It is recommended to take Didi or ride a shared bicycle.

Located in the suburbs of Guangzhou, take the subway to Yuzhu Station and change to the ferry to go directly to Huangpu Military Academy. You can take a Mobike to the ferry, which costs 2 yuan per person, and no change is provided. The ferry schedule is as shown below.

The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy has been newly rebuilt. Several buildings make up the entire scenic area. The scenic spot is completely free, and there are also some scattered attractions on the mountain.

Near the dock are the Huangpu Shipyard and military camp, so be careful not to wander around.

On that day, we happened to catch a volunteer tour guide explaining history. He talked about some past events between Mao and Chiang after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and before the signing of the Double Tenth Agreement, such as Mao and Chiang shouting "Long live each other" at the meeting, which really surprised everyone.

There are many introductions, and I would like to give some tips to friends who haven't been here. You need to take a boat to get to the island. The boats basically run every hour, and the ticket price is 2 yuan. Please pay attention to the time. There are small boats that can be charged extra, about 15 yuan per person. The island is closed on Mondays, so don't miss it. Remember to get a ticket when you go to the island, it's free, at the entrance of Sun Yat-sen's former residence. 020-82201583. The island information hotline. There are not many attractions, and they are not big. You can make up for it before coming, and understand the history of Huangpu so that you won't be bored. Note: There is a military cool visit nearby, 15 yuan per person, a pit! Two hours of fun, very sufficient!

Feel the glorious years when Mr. Sun founded it. There are many small exhibition halls inside, displaying old photos, etc.

From Guangzhou Tower, take the light rail or sightseeing bus No. 1 to Wanshengwei Station, then change to No. 262 to the terminus, Xinzhou Terminal, where you can take the ferry to the Military Academy Pier on the other side.

Please note that this terminal also ships to Shenjing so don’t make the mistake.

There is a trip to the Military Academy Pier about once an hour, with the boat leaving at around 40 at each time. You can just pay the 2 yuan coin.

It can also be reached from Yuzhu Wharf.

Basically you can stroll around and take a leisurely half-day tour.

You can return to the city by the same route, or take a boat directly back, but the ticket price is 20-30 yuan for a cruise.

I like it very much~ but there are a lot of people on National Day~ but the boat has changed from one hour to one quarter of an hour, so I didn't have to wait too long. The yellow building, Sun Yat-sen's former residence is very beautiful, and there is also a Sun Yat-sen monument in front. Be sure to keep the tickets you received with the voucher, don't throw them away, because you need tickets to enter all three attractions~

There is no ticket. You can get a ticket to enter the Yihui class. The boat to the Whampoa Military Academy costs two yuan. You can pay with a coin or use the Yangcheng Pass. It seems to run once an hour, but it doesn't take that long on holidays. The boat will arrive in a few minutes. You must go to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to get a ticket first. There are three scenic spots that can be seen by one person. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the other is a very tall inscription engraved with Sun Yat-sen's words. It's very nice to see. The tour time is about two hours. There are many things to see in the military academy, mostly restored classrooms and dormitories. There are green bean ice cream, military caps, snacks, etc. for sale at the door. It is still very valuable.

I think it is more convenient to go from Yuzhu Wharf. After getting off the subway, you can ride a bicycle to the wharf in 3 minutes! The boat departure time in the picture is for your reference. The boat from Yuzhu to the Military Academy departs 15 minutes after 12 o'clock, such as 8:15 or 9:15. Pay attention to the time to avoid waiting too long.

It's suitable for bringing children to learn some historical knowledge, but there's nothing else to see.

By Free traveler |

It still retains the atmosphere of a military academy, and the architecture shows a sense of vicissitudes. If you are interested in this period of history, it is worth a visit.

By Yongge |

Strictly speaking, there is not much to see in Guangzhou during the day, but the night view is nice, especially the buildings along the Pearl River, the Little Slender Waist, etc. It is nice to have a midnight snack or drink in Liuhua Park at night.

The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy is located on Changzhou Island in Huangpu District, Guangzhou. Although it is far from the city, the transportation is still good and there are buses to get there. This is the result of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It has an important historical position in modern Chinese history. Too many outstanding generals came from Huangpu. It is worth a visit.

The sailing time from Yuzhu Port to Huangpu Military Academy is 15 minutes per hour.

By Dot |

The former site of the Whampoa Military Academy is on Changzhou Island. It costs 2 yuan to take a boat from Yuzhu Wharf. The yellow house is the former residence of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and there is also the headquarters of the Army Military Academy. It is quite large inside. When I went there on the 8th, part of it was still under repair and it was blocked! Mr. Sun’s former residence may have just been repaired, so it smells very strong~~~ If you are interested in history, you can still go and take a look!

Finally I got to see the Whampoa Military Academy. It's so close to me, no more than 45 minutes away from my home (much closer than my company)! But I've never been there before! Today I finally got to see it!

There are quite a lot of people on Saturdays. When visiting the main campus, it can be described as crowded. So if time permits, it is recommended not to visit on weekends! What's more, there are too many things to see and learn here, and the noisy situation really hinders the normal fluctuation of thinking~

I personally think that the Huangpu Military Academy Headquarters is particularly worth visiting. Historical pictures, texts, and some cultural relics are all available in every museum. My favorite is the rooms that have been preserved in their original appearance. I can vaguely feel the life of the military academy students (but I didn't take a photo of this, I must go and see it in person!), as well as the brilliance and mental journey of many people of lofty ideals in that era! If you want to visit it seriously, it will take at least half a day. Therefore, it is recommended to hire a tour guide (or stick to other groups to listen to the tour guide's explanation), which is easier to remember. After all, many details cannot be seen by yourself, and someone must be there to "point out" them, just like some interesting tidbits, which make historical figures instantly flesh and blood!

As for the past and present of the Whampoa Military Academy, I will not go into details here, you can ask Baidu! In short, the Whampoa Military Academy is a place worth visiting!
