Autumn Harvest Uprising Memorial Square is one of Pingxiang's main revolutionary-history sites, commemorating the 1927 uprising associated with Mao Zedong's early Communist movement. The square is broad, formal, and designed for public memory rather than quiet contemplation.
It is most worthwhile for travellers following modern Chinese history through Jiangxi and Hunan. The site helps explain why an otherwise industrial border city appears in revolutionary itineraries and local patriotic tourism.
