    Ximeng Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is located 50 meters southwest of Wushan Tianchi in Mengkan Town, Ximeng Va Autonomous County. The cemetery was relocated here in 1961 and rebuilt in 1981. It was established to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the liberation of Ximeng A-Wa Mountain and in various border anti-bandit campaigns. Covering an area of 600 square meters, the cemetery contains 63 martyr tombs, a martyrs' memorial tower standing 6 meters tall, with a marble base and a square columnar tower body. It features a commemorative inscription and inscribed messages.

    The central part of the tower body is engraved with the words "Eternal Glory to the People's Heroes." The lower east side of the tower is inscribed with the message from the People’s Government of Ximeng County: "Heroic Spirit Soars, Righteousness Lives On." The inscription on the monument is carved from Ximeng marble in regular script, with 423 characters in intaglio. The north face of the monument lists the names and positions of 93 martyrs. In May 1987, Ximeng County designated it as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.

    Address: 50 meters southwest of Wushan Tianchi, Mengkan Town, Ximeng Va Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province
