Qujiang Tower, named after its location at the bend of the ancient salt-transporting canal, was once the former site of the New Fourth Army’s Northern Jiangsu Command.
In the summer and autumn of 1940, the New Fourth Army advanced eastward in their fight against the Japanese. In September, the Northern Jiangsu Command was stationed at Qujiang Tower, where the commander-in-chief stayed upstairs, strategizing and winning the political battle before the decisive battle of Huangqiao, leading to the victory of the ‘Huangqiao Decisive Battle’. The museum houses a vast collection of revolutionary historical materials. The first floor features a revolutionary historical exhibition room, displaying the revolutionary struggle history related to Jiangyan since September 1940 through numerous photographs, historical materials, and artifacts. The second floor’s Anti-Japanese War Memorial Room is divided into three main parts: ‘A Hundred Million Banners Open the War against Japan’, ‘Anti-Japanese Cooperation Sees Sincerity’, and ‘Red Flags Fly All Over the Sky in October’, recreating the historical events of the New Fourth Army’s eastern advancement and reflecting the anti-Japanese struggle of the people of Jiangyan, reminding us to learn from history and never forget. Opening hours are from Tuesday to Sunday, 08:30-11:30 and 14:00-17:30, all year round; the museum is closed all day on Mondays. Please refer to the daily opening status for specific business conditions.Former Site of the New Fourth Army’s Northern Jiangsu Command – Qujiang Tower
