The building where the Chinese republic was born, a red two-storey Western-style building at the south foot of Snake Hill, built in 1909–10 to house the Hubei provincial consultative assembly in the last years of the Qing dynasty. After the Wuchang Uprising of 10 October 1911, revolutionaries and soldiers gathered here the next day and proclaimed the Hubei Military Government; the revolution spread across China's provinces until imperial rule, more than two thousand years old, fell and the Republic of China was founded. The building is now a national first-class museum showing its original halls and offices and the story of those days; before it lies a wide square centred on a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen cast in 1931, with a modern museum of the 1911 Revolution at its southern end. Entry is free with a booking; it opens Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 to 17:00 and closes on Mondays, per visitor guides. It is a few minutes from the Yellow Crane Tower.
