Huanggang Dingwei Revolution Memorial Pavilion

The Huanggang Dingwei Revolution Memorial Pavilion is a cultural relic protection unit of Guangdong Province.

The Huanggang Dingwei Revolution Memorial Pavilion is a scenic site located in Zhongshan Park, Chuxiang Neighborhood Committee, Huanggang Town, Raoping County. Built in 1934 and renovated in 1987, it was constructed by people from all walks of life in Huanggang to commemorate the Dingwei Revolution (1907) led by Sun Yat-sen and to honor the martyrs and patriots.

Facing east and built in the style of a traditional stage, the pavilion features a front performance area and rear rooms. It is 12 meters wide and 10 meters deep, covering an area of approximately 120 square meters, and is constructed with reinforced concrete. The central wall of the stage is embedded with two stone steles: the one on the right, dating back to the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), consists of six pieces engraved with the names of 343 martyrs who sacrificed during the Dingwei Revolution and an inscription documenting the events; the one on the left is the 1987 reconstruction commemorative plaque. The front upper part of the pavilion is inscribed with “Huanggang Dingwei Revolution Memorial Pavilion” and holds significant revolutionary historical value. In July 1981, it was designated as one of the first batch of county-level cultural relic protection units by the Raoping County People's Government, and in November 2008, it was listed as part of the fifth batch of provincial-level cultural relic protection units by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government.
