In Maotai Town, a striking 25-meter memorial tower now stands atop Zhushapu, commemorating the Central Red Army's four crossings of the Chishui River during the Long March from January 29 to March 22, 1935. Designed with profound symbolism, the structure's four wave-shaped pillars represent the tactical brilliance of the maneuvers, while its boat-shaped base evokes the resilience of China's revolutionary journey.
The tower's height mirrors the 25,000-li (approximately 12,500 kilometers) Long March, a defining chapter in modern Chinese history. Local authorities highlight its role in preserving historical memory, particularly as cross-strait cultural exchanges gain momentum in 2026. For travelers exploring Guizhou Province's revolutionary heritage sites, the monument offers a tangible connection to this pivotal military achievement.
