Pingxiang Nanshan Martyrs' Cemetery
Pingxiang Nanshan Martyrs' Cemetery is a classic red tourism destination.
The Nanshan Martyrs' Cemetery is located on Guanyin Mountain in Nanshan Village, Pingxiang Town, Pingxiang City. Built in 1979 to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the counterattack in self-defense against Vietnam, the cemetery covers an area of 25,000 square meters with a built-up area of 18,000 square meters. In 1990, approved by the People's Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, some remains of martyrs from burial sites such as Shangshi and Shangliu were relocated here, and the cemetery was subsequently renovated. The site includes a martyrs' memorial monument, exhibition rooms, a memorial square, statues, and a martyrs' cemetery area, where 653 martyrs are laid to rest, five of whom were posthumously awarded the title of "Combat Hero" by the Central Military Commission. The cemetery is a provincial-level martyrs' memorial facility protection unit in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
