Bo Xian Park

Located on the edge of Xijin Ferry in Zhenjiang, Bo Xian Park is a memorial park built to commemorate the democratic revolutionary martyr Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng, also known as Bo Xian, was a native of Dantu, Zhenjiang. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Guangzhou Uprising in the late Qing Dynasty. After the failure of the uprising, Zhao Sheng became ill with grief and died in Hong Kong in 1911. In 1912, Sun Yat-sen posthumously awarded Zhao Sheng the title of General. In 1926, people from all walks of life in Zhenjiang City jointly proposed the establishment of "Bo Xian Park". The four characters "Bo Xian Park" were inscribed by Soong Ching-ling.
