Luxun Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery

Luxun Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is a cultural tourism attraction and a classic red tourism site.

Luxun Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is located in Yanjiabao, east of Luxun Town, Renhuai City. On March 15, 1935, during the Long March, the First Front Army of the Red Army passed through Luxun and encountered fierce fighting with the Nationalist Central Army forces under Wu Qiwu, resulting in heavy casualties among the Red Army soldiers. In 1953, to commemorate the Red Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the battle, the then Renhuai County government (now Renhuai City) built an earthen tomb at Yanjiabao as a martyrs' cemetery. In 1967, it was renovated into a cemetery with a memorial archway, where the remains of 145 Red Army soldiers were laid to rest. In 1983, it was expanded and renamed "Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery." Covering an area of 6,000 square meters, a memorial tower was erected in 2000, standing 14 meters tall and 12.6 meters wide.
