Xingguo County Martyrs' Cemetery
     Xingguo Martyrs' Cemetery is situated next to the Xingguo County Bus Station and consists of a complex that includes a martyrs' memorial tower, memorial pavilion, monument of names, square, and an aircraft exhibition hall. The martyrs' memorial tower was built in 1957, stands 18 meters tall, has three levels and four sides, and is constructed with brick and concrete. Its top features a 2-meter-high five-pointed star, giving it a majestic and imposing appearance. The martyrs' memorial hall was originally built in 1957 on Jixin Ridge and was relocated to the current martyrs' museum in 1977. It comprises an entrance hall, a memorial chapel, and five exhibition rooms, covering an area of 1,401 square meters. The hall displays the life stories, photos, and some personal belongings of over 23,000 notable martyrs from Xingguo, and also features artistic sculptures depicting famous scenes such as "Entrusting Orphans Before Battle," "Death Before Surrender," "Laundry Team Members," "Jiang Shanzhong's Leap off the Cliff," and "Crossing Snowy Mountains." The "Monument of Revolutionary Martyrs' Names," completed in 1991, is designed in the shape of a five-pointed corridor, with a central group sculpture of martyrs, and the surrounding corridor is inlaid with stone tablets engraved with the names of all 23,179 martyrs from the county.

     In January 1995 and July 2001, it was successively designated as a National Patriotic Education Demonstration Base by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, and in 1996, it was named a National Key Martyrs' Memorial Building Protection Unit by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
