The former site of the Peasant Movement Training Institute run by Comrade Mao Zedong, where the sixth session was held in 1926: built on the Confucian temple layout of the Ming-era Panyu Academy (built during the Hongwu reign), with red walls and yellow tiles, the Lingxing Gate and Pan Pond well preserved, and Dacheng Hall serving as classroom and exhibition space.

Getting there: Metro Line 1, Nongjiangsuo Station
