Old Town of Corfu
Located on the island of Corfu off the western coast of Albania and Greece, in a strategic location at the entrance to the Adriatic Sea, the Old Town of Corfu dates back to the 8th century BC. The city's three fortresses were designed by famous Venetian engineers and were used to protect the maritime trade interests of the Republic of Venice from the Ottoman Empire for four centuries. Over time, the forts have been repaired and partially rebuilt several times, most recently under British rule in the 19th century. The main neoclassical housing in the old town dates partly from the Venetian period and partly from later construction, especially in the 19th century. As a fortified Mediterranean port, the city and port of Corfu as a whole are known for their high degree of integrity and authenticity.

Xibaipo Memorial Hall
Xibaipo is well-known as one of the five major revolutionary holy places. It is located in Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang City. It is full of lush pines and cypresses and has beautiful scenery. It was originally named "Baibu" and was built in the Tang Dynasty. In 1935, a teacher changed "bu" to "po", and thus Xibaipo was born. During the War of Liberation, Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee commanded the three major battles that shocked China and the world - the Huaihai Campaign, the Pingjin Campaign, and the Liaoshen Campaign, and held the famous Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee. Xibaipo is surrounded by Qingshan in the north and Baipo Lake in the east, west and south.

The former site was originally located at the east end of Xibaipo Village, with more than 40 houses. In 1955, due to the construction of Gangnan Reservoir, the former site of the CPC Central Committee and the PLA headquarters and Xibaipo Village were relocated together. In the winter of 1970, the restoration of the old site began at a place 500 meters north of the original site and 57 meters above sea level. So far, 17 sites have been restored, with 196 houses, a construction area of 2,760 square meters, and an area of 16,440 square meters. During the restoration process, the principles of high consistency, repairing the old as it was, and striving for excellence were followed, and the original appearance was basically maintained. The furnishings in the house were arranged as they were, and the exhibits were mainly the office and daily necessities of the leaders of that time.
