Xiadang Township is a township under the administration of Shouning in Fujian province, China.
Xiadang Township was separated from Pingxi Township in 1987.[citation needed] When Xi Jinping was the secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), he visited Xiadang three times. After becoming CCP general secretary, Xi Jinping called Xiadang "a place I will never forget in my life". The area was then built into the "Unforgettable Xiadang" red tourism attraction. The Fujian Provincial People's Government built a number of buildings with praise for Xi, such as the "Learning Base" and "Learning Road". Many large-scale posters of Xi Jinping's quotations, portraits, and replies were hung in many places. The township government, public security and other institutions were moved to the new site, while the old site was retained in its original state in the Xiadang Old Village Scenic Area.[1] In July 2021, Xiadang Township became one of the five sub-venues of the CPC and World Political Parties Summit.[2]
