Jintan Martyrs' Cemetery

Jintan Martyrs' Cemetery is a classic red tourism destination and a patriotic education base.

Jintan Martyrs' Cemetery is located on the southern slope of Gulong Mountain in the scenic tourist area south of the city. It was built by the municipal government in 1962 and covers an area of 78 mu. The cemetery is enclosed by brick walls, with dense woodland inside, including lush pines and cypresses, creating a solemn and serene environment. The Revolutionary Martyrs Monument stands in the center of the cemetery, symbolizing the revolutionary spirit of the martyrs that lives on forever alongside heaven and earth; in front of the monument lies a spacious memorial square, which serves as a venue for commemorative activities; behind the monument are neatly arranged tombs of 27 martyrs who sacrificed their lives in different historical periods, including Yu Shen, Xue Bin, Qiang Bo, Fu Huachen—all holding positions at the county or regimental level—and the heroic teacher Yin Xuemei; the Exhibition Hall of Martyrs' Deeds displays a list of over 1,100 revolutionary martyrs from the city, along with brief accounts and photos of some of them, as well as some of the martyrs' personal belongings.
