    A historic building in Shanghai where the Communist Party of China (CPC) held its first national congress, on Saturday received its millionth visitor of this year.

    When Liu Kai, a visitor from central province of Henan, walked in the memorial building, he was welcomed by Xu Ming, deputy curator of the museum.

    "You are the 1 millionth guest this year. This is the first time in the museum's 66 years of history that the annual number of visitors has topped 1 million," Xu said.

    He presented Liu an illustrated book of the museum.

    Liu, 47, is a CPC member. He was also invited to join the museum staff to recite the oath for joining the CPC.

    On July 23, 1921, 13 delegates representing about 50 CPC members nationwide convened the first CPC national congress in the two-story brick-and-wood building in downtown Shanghai. But they later moved to a boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing of east China's Zhejiang Province due to harassment from concession area police.

    Recognized as the Party's birthplace, the meeting site was opened to the public as a museum in 1952.

    The deputy curator said the large number of visitor arrivals put the museum's management to test, as the museum only has a 1,000 square-meter exhibiting area.
