Fengshan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery

Fengshan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery

Fengshan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is a classic red tourism destination.

Fengshan was the heartland of the Youjiang Revolutionary Base, where proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation such as Deng Xiaoping and Wei Baqun fought. During the long years of revolutionary struggle, more than 3,000 sons and daughters of Fengshan sacrificed their lives for the revolutionary cause. Notable martyrs include Liao Yuanfang, Huang Boyao, Liao Youbin, Huang Luming, Wei Shisong, Zhou Magun, and others. In October 1955, the People's Government of Fengshan County built a martyrs' cemetery in front of the cave at Fengyangguan. In 1967, due to river channel modifications, the cemetery was relocated to Liangfeng'ao and expanded into a memorial park. In 2004, the new construction project of the "Fengshan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery" was listed under the "Dongba-Feng Infrastructure Construction Campaign," and it was rebuilt and expanded at a new site in Leifeng'ao, Fengcheng Town. The cemetery features a towering memorial tower, a five-hall connected exhibition building, a rain shelter pavilion, stone fences, lawns, and other facilities. The memorial facilities are well-developed, sizable, and impressive.
