The Whampoa Military Academy Memorial Site is the only venue in the country dedicated to preserving the historical and cultural legacy of the academy. Through remnants like the main campus, the monument to Sun Yat-sen, and the Martyrs Cemetery of the Northern Expedition, it recreates the teaching and living scenes of the military academy, spanning over 70,000 square meters and serving as an important window to commemorate revolutionary history.
