Renhe Taoyuan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery

The Renhe Taoyuan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is a classic red tourism destination.

The Renhe Taoyuan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is situated within the Renhe Taoyuan Cemetery Park, on the west side of the Huaixin Highway. It is enclosed by walls and a surrounding moat, with a gated entrance and dedicated personnel for supervision. Originally built on the site of the former Taoyuan Middle School, it currently covers an area of 12 mu and serves as a centralized burial site for deceased individuals from five villages in the eastern part of Renhe Town. In 2009, during the implementation of the "Comfort the Martyrs" project, the former Renhe Town Party Committee and government decided to relocate all scattered martyr burials within the town to this cemetery. A dedicated area of 1.5 mu was set aside to centrally inter 15 martyrs. The site was completed that year and officially named the "Renhe Taoyuan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery."

The cemetery fence stretches 27 meters from east to west and 16 meters from north to south, with six exhibition rooms totaling 120 square meters. On the eastern side of the cemetery stands a memorial monument facing east and backed by the west. The monument is 8.1 meters tall, with a base that is 5 meters long and 4 meters wide. The main body of the monument is 3 meters wide from north to south and 2 meters wide from east to west. The front of the monument bears eight large characters: “革命烈士永垂不朽” (“Revolutionary Martyrs Shall Live Forever”). Behind the monument lie 11 horizontal martyr tombs arranged in four rows from east to west and three rows from north to south. The tomb casings are all made of high-quality black marble, intricately engraved with the names of the martyrs and their inscriptions. Among them, there are ten single-person tombs and one joint tomb for five unidentified martyrs.
