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. While visiting the memorial, you can also hold recreational activities such as mountain climbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. The main sites that have been restored since 1970 include: the former residences of Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Ren Zhoushi, and Dong Biwu, the site of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the former site of the Central Military Commission's Operations Room, the site of the September Meeting of the CPC Central Committee, the former site where the CPC Central Committee received the KMT peace representatives and the Soviet representative Mikoyan, the former site of the Central Confidential Office, the former site of the Central Organ Primary School, and the air-raid shelter. 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.
