When walking inside, you will find the interior displays introductory plaques about the revolutionary movements of peasant and working class.
This palace-like building group is brick and wood structure and each unit was arranged in a central axis to keep balanced and symmetrical. Turquoise glazed tiles of roofs and high vermilion walls are particularly worth seeing. It uses a very complex combination of wooden structures to embody the exquisite magnificence of ancient architecture in Lingnan Region of China.
The glorious deeds of Yangjiang's revolutionary ancestors did not fade with passage of time but preserved their precious brilliance by being cherished by the people.

Although it has developed over decades, its iconic white main building has not changed, like a book spread out beautifully, symbolizing that this is a place of rich knowledge. It’s a school that carries memories of countless Yangjiang people from their good old days.
