[Explore Historical Footprints] Yunnan Military Academy Site in Kunming.

🌟 Walk into the corridor of history and explore the revolutionary melting pot - the Yunnan Military Academy Site. Located at No. 22, Cuihu West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming City, this military academy is not only one of the earliest military academies in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, but also a shining pearl in modern Chinese history. 🏛 The Yunnan Military Academy Site covers an area of about 70,000 square meters, and its main buildings include the main building quadrangle, inner and outer training grounds, armory, auditorium, and washroom. The main building is a Chinese and Western-style building with a soil, wood, and stone structure, and the corridor inside the building connects the east, west, south, and north buildings into one, with a total length of 480 meters, which is the longest corridor in China. Standing on the playground, you can almost hear the sound of the training ground and feel the weight and solemnity of history. 🎖 From 1909 to 1935, the Yunnan Military Academy held 22 sessions and trained nearly 10,000 students. It has produced many military generals, including Zhu De and Ye Jianying, marshals of the People's Republic of China, as well as Cai E and Tang Jiyao, and is known as the "cradle of generals and marshals." They made significant contributions to the country and the nation in the historical process of the Chinese revolution. 📜 Walking into the History Museum of the Military Academy, it is as if you are transported back to those turbulent years. The two permanent exhibitions - the "Centennial Military Academy, Cradle of Generals and Marshals" theme exhibition and the Chinese Expeditionary Force exhibition - vividly recreate the history of the Military Academy and the indomitable years of the War of Resistance with 1,200 pieces/sets of collections. The precious cultural relics, such as Marshal Ye Jianying's graduation certificate from the Military Academy (replica), Marshal Zhu De and Ye Jianying's uniforms (replica), and the Guangxu iron cannon, are all awe-inspiring. 📸 When you come to Kunming, take some time to visit the Yunnan Military Academy Site and feel the weight and solemnity of history.
