The Site of Huangpu Military Academy is located at Changzhou Island, Huangpu District, Guangzhou City. It was a new-typed school for the revolutionary military officers.
The Huangpu Military Academy was set up in 1924 by Sun Yat-sen with assistance from the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China, taking “Create the revolutionary army to save the periling China” as its philosophy and “Love and Good Faith” as its directive. It moved to Nanjjing in 1930. The school's major building on the original site was destroyed by the Japanese air bombing in 1938, and the rest were seriously damaged. After the founding of the People's Republic, the original site was put under protection and repaired for several times with government loans.
