Tomb of Chiang Kai-shek‎'s mother, National heritage tomb in Fenghua District, China

The Tomb of Chiang Kai-shek's mother, Wang Caiyu, lies on Baiyan Hill in Xikou, Fenghua District. A 668-metre stone-paved path runs from a three-bay stone archway inscribed by Sun Yat-sen past a sedan-chair pavilion and an octagonal filial-piety pavilion to the tomb mound, which faces north with a stone retaining wall and earth top. The tombstone, also written by Sun Yat-sen, reads "Tomb of Chiang's Mother".

Wang Caiyu died on 14 June 1921 and was buried that November at Yulin'ao on Baiyan Hill, a site chosen by a Fengshui master; Chen Guofu and Dai Jitao attended, and Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin and Zhang Jingjiang wrote inscriptions. In 1923 Chiang Kai-shek added the Ci'an tomb lodge and the stone archway, and he stayed at Ci'an in early 1949 before leaving for Taiwan. Red Guards blew up Ci'an in 1968; it was rebuilt in 1979 with central funding and opened to visitors on 31 December 1984. In 2006 the tomb was merged into the Jiang family residence national site as part of the Xikou town building group.

The tomb's name comes from Wang Caiyu, Chiang Kai-shek's mother, who asked before her death in 1921 to be buried apart from her husband. Sun Yat-sen wrote the tomb inscription "Tomb of Chiang's Mother" and the horizontal plaque "Kun Fan Zu Shi", meaning a model of female virtue. The couplet beside it, signed "unfilial son Zhou Tai", was composed by Chiang and brushed by Zhang Jingjiang.

The site is located within a large historical compound in Fenghua and is accessible via marked paths throughout the grounds. Plan to spend time exploring the full memorial area, as the property contains several buildings and spaces worth visiting.

Chiang Kai-shek chose this spot himself as one of his own burial places, intending to "accompany his mother's spirit forever." The tomb sits where the Yulin hollow of Baiyan Mountain is said to mark the navel of a Maitreya-shaped hill, a site fixed by a Fenghua geomancer he hired.
