Xiapu Village, which is located in Jinxiang Town, Lufeng City, Shanwei City of Guangdong Province, is not only a renowned revolutionary base in Lufeng, but also a cultural and tourism characteristic village in Guangdong Province.
Near the sea, Xiapu Village is about 100 nautical miles from Hong Kong.When it comes to Xiapu Village, the locals would like to tell you this story: When the Nanchang Uprising forces went to the south directly to the Hailufeng area (today's Shanwei City), several revolutionary ancestors received treatment and rested in Xiapu Village for more than ten days. Later on, they crossed the sea from Zhouzhu Village in Jinxiang Town to Hong Kong, and then transferred to Shanghai. During the era of the White Terror after the failure of the Great Revolution, the villagers were willing to protect the Communists voluntarily, risking their lives. It was the faith in the Party that encouraged them.
Along the tourist route connecting Jinxiang Red Culture Museum-the Residence of Zhou Enlai-the banyan tree-the Tiger Cave and other attractions, a brand-new beautiful view of Xiapu village greets you with fragrant flowers and green trees. The peaceful pool water is clear enough to reflect the buildings behind, and the theme-wall paintings on the walls are also attractive for tourists to appreciate.
From Xiapu village to the south about two or three kilometers away, there is the Cross-Sea Battles Memorial Park.Today, a monument has been erected at the Cross-Sea Battles Memorial Park, echoing the fishing boats moored by the sea, telling the story of the past silently.
