Baoji-Tianshui Railway Martyrs' Monument
The Baoji-Tianshui Railway Memorial Monument is situated in the Yan Emperor Park west of Baoji Railway Station. It was jointly established on October 1, 1952, by the Baoji Municipal People's Government and the 19th Army Corps of the People's Liberation Army. The 24-meter-high monument bears an inscription in its center that reads, “Monument to the Construction of the Baoji-Tianshui Section of the Northwestern Railway by the 19th Army Corps of the PLA and the Shaanxi Military District.” The pedestal is engraved with inscriptions from proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation, including Peng Dehuai.
The monument suffered severe damage during the Cultural Revolution but was restored by the Baoji Municipal People's Government in November 1980, returning it to its original historical appearance.
