BEIJING: The construction of a Mao Zedong Cultural Relics Museum has begun in the late leader's home town of Shaoshan to mark the 30th anniversary of his death, Chinese state press said Thursday.

The museum is part of a 290 million yuan project to renovate the town in central China's Hunan province where Mao was born in 1893, Xinhua reported.

The 30th anniversary of the death of the revolutionary leader who founded the People's Republic in 1949 falls on Saturday.

The construction of the new 12,000 square meter museum began on Wednesday in a hilly area near Shaoshan, which is still visited by countless Chinese who see Mao as the father of new China.

The construction work, part of a Patriotic Education Project mandated by the central government, includes the widening of roads leading to Mao's ancestral home and to the existing Mao Zedong Memorial Hall.

The town square where Mao's bronze statue is located will also be expanded, the news report said.
