Jiuzhuang Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery

The Jiuzhuang Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is a cultural relics protection unit in Xifeng County and a classic red tourism site.

The Jiuzhuang Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is situated atop Zushi Guan Mountain in Gonghe Group, Ximen Village, Jiuzhuang Town. It was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in 1984. On March 29, 1935, during the Long March, the Central Red Army crossed the Wu River and entered Xifeng. On April 2, the 3rd and 5th regiments of the right column of the First Front Red Army were stationed in Jiuzhuang when they were bombed by enemy aircraft, resulting in the deaths of over 100 Red Army officers and soldiers. In 1968, under the guidance of local informant Xie Wenqing, teachers and students from Jiuzhuang's primary and secondary schools collected and interred the martyrs’ remains at a combined burial site on Zushi Mountain. The tomb is square-shaped, constructed of cement bricks, measuring 4 meters in both length and width, and 1.8 meters in height. In front of the tomb lies a concrete platform spanning over 100 square meters, edged with bluestone retaining walls. On Tomb-Sweeping Day, people from all walks of life come to pay their respects here. It serves as a patriotic education base for Jiuzhuang and holds significant value for researching the history of the Red Army’s Long March.
