Dechang Park

　　Dechang Park, situated on Jiudou Mountain to the west of Nanxian County, is surrounded by lush greenery, with picturesque landscapes and scattered pavilions and towers, making it an ideal place for local residents to relax and vacation. It is an urban park newly built in 1995 by villagers from Huajia Lake. Jiudou Mountain is the hometown of Duan Dechang, a renowned Red Army general and commander of the Sixth Red Army. To honor this great Red Army leader who made outstanding contributions to China’s revolution, the people of Nanxian County named the park Dechang Park.

　　Dechang Park consists of three major scenic areas: the Memorial Park, the Landscape Park, and the Recreation Park. The Memorial Park is located along the central axis, where visitors walking up the steps can immediately see the majestic bronze statue of General Duan Dechang. A tall and striking monument stands in the center of the park, allowing visitors to pay tribute to the martyrs with reverence. Behind the monument, there is also the innovatively designed Huaiying Pavilion and the County Museum, where visitors can mourn the martyrs and learn about the ancient and modern history of Nanxian County. A few hundred steps behind the Memorial Park lies the popular Hongshan Chan Temple in Nanxian, where the sounds of wooden fish and scriptures resonate, making it a renowned Buddhist site in the lake region.
