Learn about the Muslim Hui uprising during the Qing Dynasty. Dali Municipal Museum was initially known as the Grand Marshal’s Mansion, serving as the residence of Du Wenxiu (1827-1872), who led the Hui ethnic minority revolt against the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) government in 1856. Du conquered Dali and became Marshal of the military forces. However, after his downfall in 1872, the mansion was abandoned and subsequently reconstructed in 1884. After extensive renovations by the government, the site was reopened as a museum in 1986 which holds “Du Wenxiu’s Uprising Exhibition.”
