The Fujian Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, nestled at the foot of Gushan Mountain, a renowned scenic spot in Fuzhou, is a National Model Base for Patriotic Education, a National Red Tourism Classic Scenic Spot, a Fujian Provincial National Defense Education Base, and an Advanced Provincial Patriotic Education Base. It also serves as a vital showcase for Fujian's spiritual civilization development and reform and opening-up efforts. The building, embracing both Chinese and Western architectural styles, is organized around an inner square, encompassing a sequence of spaces including an introductory hall, exhibition hall, diorama gallery, office building, and training center. The building's architecture reflects the traditional Fujian Tulou style.
Two modern bronze sculptures, titled "Twists and Turns, Rise," stand in cascading pools on either side of the gate. These sculptures symbolize the Fujian people's forging ahead amidst twists and turns, their rise through exploration, and evoke a sense of perseverance and courage. A large granite relief, titled "Towards the New Century," is inlaid on the gate's lintel. Composed of images of "struggle, victory, soaring, and glory," it symbolizes the glorious journey and promising future of Fujian's people, who have endured hardships, diligently explored new paths, and carried out revolution and construction under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
