The memorial is located in Pingshan County, about 80 km northwest of Shijiazhuang. It is a national base for patriotic education.

It was the site of the Communist Party of China's last headquarters in a rural area before it moved to Beijing and liberated the entire country.

During 10 months of their stay there, Mao Zedong and the Communist Party launched three major military campaigns and won decisive victories against Kuomintang forces led by Chiang Kai-shek.

The Xibaipo Memorial was built in 1977 to commemorate this revered site.
