Xisha Islands Naval Battle Martyrs' Cemetery
The Xisha Islands Naval Battle Martyrs' Cemetery is a cultural tourism attraction and a classic red tourism site.
The Xisha Islands Naval Battle Martyrs' Cemetery is located in Yazhen Town, about 1 kilometer from the Yazhou exit of the West Expressway. Built in 1975, on January 19, 1974, the Saigon authorities of South Vietnam, ignoring repeated warnings from the Chinese government, brazenly dispatched warships and aircraft to invade China's Xisha Islands and opened fire on our patrolling vessels. Our military resolutely carried out orders, fought back in self-defense, sank one enemy frigate, damaged three enemy destroyers, recaptured Ganquan, Shanhu, and Jinhua islands, annihilated all defending enemies, and achieved a great victory in safeguarding the country's territorial sovereignty.
