Jinjing Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery

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

Jinjing Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is located in the town area of Jinjing, Jinjiang City.

To commemorate the spirits of 59 martyrs who gloriously sacrificed their lives for the Party, the motherland, and the people during various revolutionary periods, the Jinjing Martyrs' Cemetery was completed in 1955. The tombs are neatly arranged in groups, with each grave marked by a white granite headstone inscribed with the martyr's name and date of sacrifice. Opposite the cemetery stands the "Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall," which displays portraits and biographies of the martyrs, vividly presenting the glorious images of these revolutionary heroes. Around the Qingming Festival each year, officials, PLA soldiers, school students, and members of the public visit to pay their respects. In front of the martyrs' tombs, wreaths, flower bouquets, and incense are often placed as tokens of remembrance, with people expressing their grief and deep reverence for the martyrs' immortal achievements in various ways.

The cemetery covers an area of 1,112 square meters. It is enclosed by walls, forming a fully enclosed space. At the center of the main facade is an arched gate, flanked by pillars inscribed with Mao Zedong’s calligraphy reading “Live a great life, die a glorious death.” Large quotations from Mao Zedong are also displayed on both sides of the gate.

In August 1997, Jinjing Martyrs' Cemetery was designated as a Patriotic Education Base of Jinjiang City by the Jinjiang Municipal Committee of the CPC and the People's Government of Jinjiang City.
