Jiangfang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is a classic destination for red tourism.

Jiangfang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is located at the entrance of Jiangfang Village, Changxiao Town, Qingliu County, at the intersection of Provincial Highway S204 and the road leading into the village. The cemetery was built to commemorate Zou Yinrong, a martyr from this area.

Zou Yinrong, female, was born in Bao’li Township (now Changxiao Town), Qingliu County. She was born in 1904, joined the Red Army in 1929, and after the main force of the Red Army began the Long March in October 1934, she stayed behind to continue the struggle locally. In May 1935, while carrying out a mission, she was betrayed by a traitor and arrested, and was later executed by the enemy in Jiangfang Village. In January 1974, the local government built the martyrs' cemetery to honor the heroes and educate future generations. Jiangfang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery covers an area of about 200 square meters. Two pairs of couplets are inscribed on the sides of the tomb. The inner couplet reads “Carry on the legacy and fight the revolution to the end,” and the outer couplet reads “Revolutionary martyrs shall be immortal, and people’s heroes will last forever.” The central inscription on the tombstone reads “Tomb of Martyr Zou Yinrong.”
