三河坝战役纪念馆
Commemorates the Battle of Sanheba, a battle during the Chinese Civil War that took place here in September 1927. The battle is considered to be of great significance by some Chinese historians because although the Red Army troops led by Zhu De were outnumbered and forced to retreat, most of them survived and were able to make it to the safety of the Jinggang Mountains where they helped to establish the Communist Party's first revolutionary base in rural China.
大埔县博物馆
Small museum devoted to the history and culture of the region.
泰安楼
The Tai'an Building is a tulou building that was built in 1764. It is probably the most accessible tulou building in Dabu County, being the only one located in the county seat. The square shape of the building makes it very unique because most tulou buildings are round.
李光耀祖居
The ancestral home of the first prime minister of Singapore. Lee himself never lived here, however. It was built by his great-grand father Lee Bok Boon in 1884. Lee Bok Boon had immigrated to Singapore in 1863, but returned to Dabu in 1882, leaving his wife and children (including Lee Kuan Yew's grandfather) behind in Singapore. Lee Bok Boon died only a few months after the house was built and the property was inherited by his brother's family. The residence is now a tourist attraction and hosts an exhibition about Lee Kuan Yew's life.
