Ganzhou must-visit | Feel the weight of time at the Martyrs Memorial Hall

If you come to Ganzhou, don't miss this red landmark hidden under Tianzhu Mountain - **Ganzhou Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall**. It is like a three-dimensional history book, every page of which is soaked with passion and faith. Here, I understand what it means "The mountains and rivers are safe only because there are people carrying the burden forward." **First encounter: solemnity among the verdant pines and cypresses** As you enter the memorial hall, you will be greeted by sculptures of martyrs hidden among green pines and cypresses. They either charged with guns or raised their arms and shouted, and in the frozen moment one seemed to be able to hear the shouts from a hundred years ago. When standing in front of the giant sculpture and bowing in silence, even the wind became quiet, leaving only the resonance of heartbeat and history. **Immersion: 500 names, 500 lives** In the exhibition hall, there are yellowed photos, rusty pocket watches, torn diaries... every relic is a fragment of life. I stopped in front of a wall of fame engraved with the names of 500 martyrs, touched the cold wall with my fingertips, and suddenly remembered a sentence: "Heroes are not born fearless, but choose to be brave." The faces of those who were only twenty years old when they died made my eyes red - it turns out that youth can be so hot. **Sense of Ritual: Everlasting Flame and Digital Space and Time** The Eternal Flame of the Martyrs on the Ceremonial Square never goes out, like an eye guarding the city. What surprised me the most was the **VR Digital Exhibition Hall**. Putting on the device, I instantly "traveled" to the battlefield where the Red Army was attacking the city. The sound of artillery fire exploded in my ears, and when I turned around, I saw the prosperous street scenes of modern Ganzhou. This dialogue between the past and the future is so shocking! **Tip: This is a more in-depth way** ❶ **Best time**: Choose the Qingming Festival or September 30, the Martyrs' Day. You will encounter a solemn ceremony of laying flower baskets, and you can even participate in volunteer activities and personally present a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to the martyrs' tombs. ❷ **Hidden gameplay**: The museum provides audio guides, remember to scan the code to listen to the stories - such as the soldier who died with an unsent letter home, the details are more touching than the movie. ❸ **Nearby linkage**: After visiting the memorial hall, you can walk to the ancient city wall of Ganzhou in 15 minutes. On one side are the memories of beacon fires, and on the other side are the fireworks of Songcheng, giving you a full sense of time and space interweaving! Someone asked: "Will the red tourist attractions be too heavy?" I want to say that there is no deliberate sensationalism here, only real warmth. When you see a child standing on tiptoe to tie a red scarf around a statue of a martyr, when an old man tremblingly touches the name of his comrade-in-arms... you will understand that some memories never fade, they just turn into a spring breeze, turning the land green year after year. **Navigation**: No. 11, Tianzhushan Road, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City **Opening hours**: 9:00-17:00 (closed on Mondays, don’t miss it~) [Purse] Tickets: Free!
