About Xinhai Revolution Museum (Wuchang Uprising Memorial)
The Xinhai Revolution Museum is made up of two sites a short walk apart on the south side of Snake Hill, both about the Wuchang Uprising of October 1911. The north district is the Red Building, a 1910 assembly hall where revolutionaries and soldiers declared the Hubei military government on 11 October 1911, with its council chamber and offices restored; Sun Yat-sen spoke there in April 1912. The south district, built for the 1911 centenary, has a historical exhibition on the revolution, and Shouyi Square, with a 1931 bronze of Sun Yat-sen, lies between the two.
