The First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party took place on 23 July, 1921, is a house in the French Concession, in Shanghai, China. There were at least 12 participants including Mao Zedong. Somehow the police found out about the meeting, and the delegates had to evaluate hurriedly. They escaped to a boat on Lake Nan.

The house has a reconstruction of the meeting that took place. It displays the original chairs and teacups used by the delegates, and is part of the history of the Chinese Communist Party.

How to reach the house of the First National Congress

The house is located at 374 Huangpu Nan Lu. Take Line 1 of the Shanghai Metro to the Huangpi South Road subway station. Walk south on Huangpi South Road and look for No. 374.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
