Dazhou Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery

Dazhou Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is a classic red tourism destination.

Dazhou Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is located on Lingyuan Road, Tongchuan District, Dazhou. Dazhou was an important part of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base. During the revolutionary war years, over 100,000 sons and daughters of Bashan devoted themselves to the revolution, making tremendous contributions and sacrifices for national liberation and the founding of New China, with tens of thousands of revolutionary martyrs laid to rest here. To commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in establishing the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base and in the battles of Wanyuan Defense, Xuan-Da Campaign, and Ying-Qu Campaign, the cemetery was first built in 1958, covering an area of 24,000 square meters. It includes a Martyrs' Deeds Exhibition Hall, the Revolutionary Martyrs Monument, and martyrs' tombs, among others, and is the final resting place for over 3,000 martyrs. The cemetery is a provincial-level martyrs' memorial facility protection unit in Sichuan Province.
