Changxindian Erqi Park, Public park in Changxindian Subdistrict, Beijing, China.
Changxindian Erqi Park is a public green space with winding paths, exercise equipment, and children's play areas scattered throughout. The layout offers separate zones for different activities and rest.
Changxindian Park was built in 1986 and opened to visitors on 1 July 1987. In July 1966 the Changxindian Erqi Locomotive Factory had already erected a tomb and steles in the park for Ge Shugui and Wu Zhen, leaders of the 1923 Erqi Strike. In 2013 the Erqi Martyrs' Tomb was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
The park's name and identity come from the Erqi Strike of 1923, when Wu Zhen led the investigation team and Ge Shugui the picket corps. In July 1966 the Changxindian Erqi Locomotive Factory erected the two martyrs' tombs here, side by side, each inscribed with its own name. The tombs were listed in 2013 among the seventh batch of national key cultural relics sites as part of the Changxindian Erqi Strike site.
The park opens daily from 6:00 to 20:30 and admission is free. It sits next to Changxindian Railway Station to the southeast and the Changxindian Erqi Memorial Hall to the southwest. In summer, bring sunscreen and water and wear comfortable shoes.
The Erqi Martyrs' Tomb in the park's centre holds Ge Shugui, captain of the strike picket, and Wu Zhen, head of the investigation team during the 1923 Erqi Strike. The Changxindian Erqi Locomotive Factory built the brick, stone and cement tomb in July 1966; in 2013 it was listed among the seventh batch of national key cultural relics sites.
