The old residence of Hong Xiuquan is situated in Guanlubu Village, Dabu Town, Huaxian County, Guangdong Province.

Born in 1814 in Fuyuanshui Village, Huaxian County, Hong Xiuquan -- the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom  -- later settled in Guanlubu Village. Having founded the God-Worshipping Society in the neighboring village in 1843, Hong went back to Guanlubu Village to engage in secret anti-Qing revolutionary activities. As a result, Guanlubu Village became the cradle of the God-Worshipping Society. Brewing revolutionary activities both in his hometown and in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hong established the God-Worshipping Society Revolutionary Base in the Zijin Mountain Region of Guiping, Guangxi. He also staged an uprising in 1815 in Jintian Village, which spurred the dynamic war of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The single-storied residence, containing six brick and wooden rooms covered in tiles with an area of 16.5 by 5.5 meters, was built at the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Having lived at the residence for more than 30 years, Hong also spent his youth there. An old-style tutorial school where Hong Xiuquan was a student and teacher, the ancestral hall of the Hong clan, including other structures, still remains near the residence. The original building was burned down by the Qing Government, and was rebuilt after the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The current residence contains the Memorial Hall for the Hong Xiuquan Residence and the ancestral hall of the Hong clan, an exhibition attached to the memorial hall.
