The Museum of Huanghuagang Uprising Headquarters

  [edit this]

The Museum of Huanghuagang Uprising Headquarters is a massive blue-brick house of the typical Lingnan residential style. The house, set in a south-north direction on a site of a more than 500 square meters, was built as a residence for a Qing-dynasty official and known as the “Chaoyi Mansion”. In April 1911, Huang Xing arrived in Guangzhou from Hong Kong and based the headquarters of the planned uprising in this house in Xiaodongying, which is the closest point to the Mansion of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi of the Qing Dynasty (the site of the present-day Guangdong Provincial Department of Civil Affairs). On April 27 (the 29th day of the third month in the Chinese lunar calendar), a dare-to-die squad of 100 soldiers, headed by Huang Xing, launched an attack from there against the governor's mansion. Although it was not successful, the uprising ushered in the Revolution of 1911, which eventually toppled the Qing rule and put an end to the feudal dictatorship which had ruled China for more than two millennia.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the house became the property of Li Zhangda, Vice Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government and a pioneer of the patriotic democratic movement. In 1956, Li Songgang, son of Li Zhangda, donated the house to the government as his father had instructed him before he passed away. In 1958, the house was converted into a museum. In 1962, it was declared a protected cultural heritage site by the Guangdong People's Government.

Admission fee: RMB ¥ 2 per person

At present, the Museum of Biology holds 220,000 plant specimens, 600,000 insect specimens, and 30,000 stuffed, soaked, bone and fossil specimens, as well as invaluable specimens of ancient creature fossils.

The museum is China's only university biological museum holding a large collection of specimens of precious Chinese and foreign creatures and featuring prominent South China faunal and floral characteristics; it enjoys a prestigious reputation in the international biological community.
