  Baihe County Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery, established in 1952, was originally located on a prominence to the south of Kuixing Mountain. In 1972, with the help of the 13th Division of the Railway Corps, it was relocated to the western slope of Kuixing Mountain. The cemetery covers nearly 100 acres and is surrounded by city on all sides. To the north lies the Han River flowing eastward, while to the south stretches the rolling “Iron Dragon” (railway). The entire cemetery is shaded by lush greenery. It features key ancient-style structures such as a memorial monument, Kuixing Tower, stele pavilion, Qingfeng Pavilion, Revolutionary Martyrs Exhibition Room, and Revolutionary Martyrs Monument. In September 1989, it was listed as a county-level protected revolutionary martyrs’ memorial building; in 1996, it was designated as a provincial-level patriotic education base by the Shaanxi Provincial Committee.

  The cemetery houses the remains of 158 martyrs, including those who sacrificed their lives during two battles to liberate Baihe, railway soldiers who gave their precious lives contributing to the Third Front Construction, and Liu Anlin, a martyr who earned a First-Class Battle Merit in the war. It serves as an important site for revolutionary tradition and patriotic education in Baihe County and nearby counties and cities.

  Every year during Tomb-Sweeping Day, as well as major holidays like May Day and National Day, a continuous stream of officials and students come to pay their respects. The site receives nearly 40,000 visitors annually on average.
