This concentration camp was the largest, highest-level prison of all the prisons set up by the Military Commission of the KMT government during the Anti-Japanese War. It consisted of an office at Yanglangba of Xifeng County and the prison itself, at Xuantiandong. The Camp was referred to as a "university" within the system, while Baigongguan Prison and the Wanglongmen House of Detention, in Chongqing, were the "middle school" and "primary school" respectively. This camp was a provincial and municipal base for patriotic education in Guizhou province and the city of Guiyang, in 1997, and it was added by the State Council to the list of major historical and cultural sites under State protection, in 1988.

Tips for tourists: tickets cost 15 yuan for the old Xifeng Concentration Camp site. You can get there by bus at Station No 1, on Yan'anxi Rd, Guiyang, 8:00 ~ 17:00, 20 minutes/shift.
