Where is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?

The former site of Wang Jiayu, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, is located in Wang Jiayu Village, 35km east of Wuxiang County, surrounded by mountains and ravines. On the edge of Wang Jiayu village, stands a sturdy poplar tree, which was planted by Commander-in-Chief Zhu De in the spring of 1940.

Up to now, this tree has grown into a towering tree for more than 50 years. People affectionately call it "Red Star Poplar" and "General Tree" because its branches are five-star in cross section and slightly red.
