Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum

Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum is a cultural tourism attraction.

Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum is located in Xiping Forest Park, Tai'an County, and consists of five parts: the Meritorious Gate, the Main Entrance, the Memorial Hall, the Spirit Tomb, and the Marshal Zhang Stele Forest.

To commemorate General Zhang Xueliang, the People's Government of Tai'an County built Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum within Xiping Forest Park, the largest plain forest park in Liaoning Province. The mausoleum was completed on September 18, 2005, designed by the Hunan Architectural Design Institute. Its overall style resembles the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, covering an area of 26,000 square meters with a construction area of 1,900 square meters, and is only 3 kilometers away from the Memorial Hall at General Zhang Xueliang’s Birthplace. The plaque of Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum was inscribed by the former Vice Premier of the State Council.

In 2009, the Tai'an County Government carried out a comprehensive renovation of Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum. The Memorial Hall of General Zhang Xueliang was repainted, the pathways were relaid with flagstones, the mausoleum grounds were landscaped, the front three gates plaza was expanded, and standardized flush toilets were built. These improvements further enhanced the infrastructure of the scenic area.

To date, the memorial hall has received over 120,000 visitors from home and abroad. In 2006, Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum was designated as a Patriotic Education Demonstration Base. In 2008, it was integrated with the Memorial Hall at General Zhang Xueliang’s Birthplace and Xiping Forest Park to form the Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum Tourist Scenic Area, which was then promoted to a AAA-level tourist attraction.

In the future, further planning will continue for Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum, including the construction of the Marshal Zhang Stele Forest and sculptures of General Zhang Xueliang and his wife, Zhao Yidi. The building of Marshal Zhang's Mausoleum has finally fulfilled General Zhang Xueliang’s long-cherished wish to “return to his hometown for good.”
