Pukou Unknown Martyrs' Cemetery

Pukou Unknown Martyrs' Cemetery is a cultural tourism attraction and a classic red tourism site.

Pukou Unknown Martyrs' Cemetery [Baojiataoyuan, Pearl Spring Resort, Pukou District, north of Ning-Cu Highway · 1995 · District-level Cultural Relics Protection Unit] In 1995, to commemorate the “Three-Pu Campaign” (Jiangpu, Puzhen, Pukou) and other revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the revolutionary struggle in Pukou, Party members and cadres across the district made two rounds of donations. The project was initiated and constructed under the leadership of the District Party Committee's Organization Department, Propaganda Department, and Pearl Spring Scenic Area. The initial structures included a memorial monument, a statue (later rebuilt), and an unnamed martyrs' tomb. The memorial monument (12 meters high) bears an inscription by Zhu Keyun, then Secretary of the District Party Committee, while the commemorative article on the back of the monument was written by the District Party Committee’s Propaganda Department and calligraphed by Lu Huinan. The unnamed martyrs' tomb (2 meters high, approximately 15 square meters) houses the remains of martyrs previously buried scattered across Dingshan Mountain. Later, an Unnamed Martyrs' Memorial Hall was built within the cemetery, covering a construction area of about 200 square meters. The name of the hall was inscribed by General Chen Shiqu before his passing, but unfortunately, it was demolished due to structural safety concerns. In 2012, the scenic area carried out large-scale renovations of the cemetery. In 2005, it was designated as a District-level Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
