Guangzhou Martyrs Cemetery: Heroes bloom in the city of heroes😄

#Guangzhou Attractions The Guangzhou Uprising Martyrs Cemetery is located on Zhongshan 2nd Road in Guangzhou. It was originally named Honghuagang and was the place where the Kuomintang reactionaries shot and killed revolutionary masses. The cemetery covers an area of ​​260,000 square meters and is divided into two parts: the mausoleum area and the park area. Unlike the cemeteries built during the Republic of China period, the cemetery and the park area were separated during planning and have two vertical axes instead of a single axis. There is a tall, round-arched tomb for the remains of martyrs in the mausoleum area. On the main entrance of the tomb wall is engraved Zhu De’s inscription “Tomb of Guangzhou Commune”. In front of the tomb, there is a 45-meter-high Guangzhou Uprising Martyrs Monument in the shape of a rifle, symbolizing that "power comes from the barrel of a gun." There is an artificial lake in the eastern part of the garden. [3] In the garden is a pavilion inscribed with the words "Blood Sacrifice at Xuanyuan Pavilion" by Dong Biwu, which tells the story of Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun's wedding on the execution ground. There are also memorial buildings such as the "Sino-Soviet People's Blood Friendship Pavilion" and the "Sino-North Korean People's Blood Friendship Pavilion", as well as small attractions such as the Tomb of the Four Martyrs of the Xinhai Revolution at Honghuagang and the Ye Jianying Memorial. As one of the iconic attractions in Guangzhou, the Martyrs Cemetery is worth a visit. Heroes bloom in the city of heroes😊.
