Zhongshan martyrs cemetery

Zhongshan martyrs cemetery

Zhongshan martyrs cemetery is located in the eastern suburb of Lishui district (formerly Lishui County), about 4.5 kilometers away from Zhongshan, also known as Dushan. Because there are no mountains around, it is not associated with the mountains, so it is called Dushan. The memorial tower was built in 1959, rebuilt in 1984 and expanded in 1995. The memorial tower is engraved with six characters: "long live the martyrs".

On the north side of the tower of Zhongshan martyrs' cemetery, there is a martyr's stele Pavilion, engraved with the names of 430 martyrs who died in honor of the revolution in our county. There are three tombs in the southwest, including the tombs of revolutionary martyrs Yao Chuancai and Xue Yongfa.
