Geleshan Revolutionary Martyrs’ Cemetery

Geleshan Revolutionary Martyrs’ Cemetery, Military cemetery in Shapingba District, Chongqing, China.

Geleshan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery covers 2.14 square kilometres at the foot of Geleshan in Shapingba District. It comprises the former Zhazidong and Baigongguan prison sites, a group sculpture of martyrs, a stele forest of martyrs' writings, a large relief, the martyrs' tomb and the Hongyan Soul Exhibition Hall. Deng Xiaoping wrote the cemetery's name.

The site was the headquarters, radio station and prison of the Republic of China's military intelligence bureau, and hosted the Sino-American Special Technical Cooperative Organization during World War II. In late November 1949, before retreating to Taiwan, the government executed prisoners held at Baigongguan and Zhazidong; few escaped. A cemetery and monument followed in 1955, the exhibition hall in 1963, and the name Geleshan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery in 1984, inscribed by Deng Xiaoping.

The site is officially a national patriotism education demonstration base and a national defence education demonstration base. Its name was written by Deng Xiaoping when the cemetery was renamed in July 1984, and in 1993 it also received the plaque of the Geleshan Revolutionary Memorial Hall. The grounds include the Hongyan Soul Exhibition Hall and the Hongyan Soul Square.

The complex covers 2.14 square kilometres at the foot of Geleshan in Shapingba District, and its parts are separate: the Zhazidong and Baigongguan prison sites, Songlinpo, the Martyrs' Group Sculpture, the poetry stele forest, the large relief, the martyrs' tombs and the Hongyan Soul Exhibition Hall. Plan walking between them, as the ground rises along the mountain slope.

The grounds contain remains of two historic prison buildings that now function as museums, guiding visitors directly through the cells where inmates were held. These physical spaces create a more personal connection to history than monuments alone.
