Former site of Jintian uprising of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

The former site of Jintian uprising of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is 28 kilometers north of Guiping City, Guangxi. It is the site of the largest and most far-reaching peasant uprising of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom which broke out on January 11, 1851. At present, there are many sites, such as the statue of Hong Xiu, ancient Yingpan, uprising exhibition hall, Wei Changhui's former residence, Sanjie ancestral temple for military training, and Rhinoceros Pool for ancient war in fengmen'ao. The former site of Jintian uprising is 24 kilometers north of Guiping County in Guangxi. In 1847 (the 27th year of Daoguang), Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan established the God worship base in the Zijing mountain area of Guiping, Guangxi, and led the Han, Zhuang and Yao people to fight against the feudal forces. On January 11, 1851, Hong Xiuquan held an armed uprising in Jintian village and established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, a god worship organ was set up at Wei Changhui's house in Jintian, where the furnace was turned on to make iron and weapons secretly. An uprising headquarters was set up in Yingpan, rhinoceros ridge. Yingpan is a rectangular earthen city. There is a big stone called flagpole stone in front of the central platform. Hong Xiuquan led the Taiping army to raise the flag and pledge to revolt here. It is said that the weapons made before the uprising were hidden in Tanshui.

Transportation: the transportation is very convenient. The Lijiang Zhanjiang railway, national highways 324 and 209, Nanning Wuzhou high-grade highway and Xijiang waterway meet and run through the whole territory. It has the largest inland port in South China, and 1000 ton ships can go directly to Hong Kong and Macao along the river. Guigang has become an important land and water transportation hub in South China, a bridge and link connecting China's southeast coastal areas with the central and western regions, and one of the most convenient channels for the southwest to go to sea.

Yingpan is 35 meters long and 22 meters wide. It is surrounded by earth walls with a height of 3 meters and a bottom width of 2 meters.

Rhinoceros Pool

Rhinoceros Pool was originally a pool formed by purple water flowing under rhinoceros ridge. It was the place where the Taiping Rebellion army collected weapons. It has farmland in the West and North and rhinoceros ridge in the East and south. Because the sediment of the surrounding fields has been washed into the pond by rain for a long time, the area of the pond water is becoming smaller and smaller, and weeds are growing. Some of them have been reclaimed as farmland by villagers.

Flag worship stone

In the middle of guyingpan, there used to be a round platform. In front of it, there was a big stone about 1 meter above the ground, called Baiqi stone.
