The Site of Guangzhou Commune is located in the courtyard of the Police Bureau of Guangzhou City, Qiyi Road in Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province. It is also the former site of Soviet Government of Guangzhou City. On the site, the gate, the three office buildings in the south, north and the middle, and the jailhouse remain extant. The building in the south housed the offices, the headquarters of the guards' company and the place to deliver the weapons, propaganda materials and the sleeve emblems. The building in the middle housed the conference hall of the Soviet Government, the offices, and the headquarters of the Red Guards. The north building was the Military Command Post. There are showrooms for the historical data of Guangzhou Uprising.

On December 11, 1927, the Communist Party members such as Zhang Tailei, Su Zhaozheng, Ye Ting, Ye Jianying and Nie Rongzhen, etc, launched the Guangzhou Uprising. The Red Guards and the instructive regiments were the main force in this uprising. They occupied the courtyard of the Police Bureau, and there they proclaimed the founding of the Soviet Government of Guangzhou City, a people's regime. However, the uprising army suffered severe loss when three divisions from Kuomintang and the allied imperialistic countries of Britain, France, Japan, and America, etc, kicked back with their warships and Marine Corps. Because of the disparity in force, the new regime born out of the uprising failed after three days, and the remaining withdrew from Guangzhou City.
