Once called by late Chinese leader Mao Zedong the "maternity ward of the CPC," the site is also the "spiritual home" of Chinese communists, Xi said.

They also visited exhibitions displaying the founding and development of the CPC.

"We can not forget the road that we have taken no matter how far we march," Xi said.

"We should often recall and deeply comprehend the cultural relics and scenes on the founding of the CPC so as to decode the CPC's original aspiration," he said.

Xi also led Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng to review the oath of the CPC in front of a huge CPC flag, then asked all CPC members to keep firmly in mind the oath and keep in alignment.

On Tuesday afternoon, the CPC leadership visited Jiaxing, following the footsteps of their forerunners.

The leaders visited a replica of the boat on which CPC founders convened their meeting in 1921 -- now referred to as the "Red Boat" -- and the Nanhu Lake Revolution Museum after a train trip from Shanghai.

The construction of the museum started on June 28, 2006, when Xi laid its cornerstone as then Zhejiang Party chief. However, Tuesday's visit was Xi's first visit to the museum since it opened in 2011.

Xi called on CPC members to implement the Red Boat spirit in the new era, which highlights pioneering work, persistence and dedication.

In an address at the end of Tuesday's tour, Xi called the Shanghai and Jiaxing sites "the places where the CPC's dream set sail" and "the root of the Party."
