The Sikuishi Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Site

The Sikuishi Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Site is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Sikuishi Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Site is a cultural heritage scenic area in our region, located within Haolianghe of Nancha District, under the jurisdiction of the Haolianghe Forest Management Office. From 1935 to 1936, the Third and Sixth Divisions of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces established a rear base around Sikuishi, which included a uniform factory, a field hospital, camps, and more. Renowned leaders of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces such as Zhao Shangzhi, Li Zhaolin, Feng Zhongyun, Zhou Baozhong, Dai Hongbin, and Zhang Lansheng once worked here. This site was also where the Provisional Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in Northern Manchuria held important meetings and where Allied Forces soldiers fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders. After liberation, it hosted return visits from veteran Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers including Chen Lei, Wang Minggui, Zhang Xiang, Jin Bowen, Xia Fenglin, Wang Jun, Li Min, and Li Zai’di. The Sikuishi Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Site, the base of the Third and Sixth Divisions, was approved as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit by the provincial government in 1986. It holds significant importance and function in educating future generations about revolutionary traditions.

Sikuishi is situated at the junction of Yilan, Tangyuan, and Nancha counties, standing at a high altitude with layered peaks and beautiful scenery. The scenic area consists of Yuefeng Mountain, Hongshilazi, Tieling, Tuolong Peak, the Martyrs’ Cemetery, and the ruins of the uniform factory. The main highlights include Yuefeng Mountain, Hongshilazi, and Tieling. Yuefeng Mountain features Moon Gate, Moon Peak, an observation platform, Tiger’s Mouth, a training ground, a military horse farm, and an Anti-Japanese Allied Forces well. There is also an “Sikuishi Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Monument” erected by the early district and county governments, along with five inscribed stone markers. Hongshilazi gets its name from being dyed red by azaleas and maple leaves in spring and autumn, and its landscape includes Red Stone Peak, a rift valley, an axe-split rock, and a plank walkway. The Tieling landscape includes an Anti-Japanese Allied Forces cave (Sixth Division hospital), a large stone shelter, hidden camps, an Anti-Japanese Allied Forces sentry post, a hidden camp passage, and the tomb of Yu Baohe.
