Architecture Overview

With the rapid development of socialist construction, the people of Zhangjiajie cherish the memory of the revolutionary martyrs who have been sleeping in Jiuquan. They have made great contributions to the history of the Qing Dynasty for the martyrs, and have shown their heroic demeanor to the later generations. The people of Zhangjiajie have been drinking water and thinking about the source, and they have issued a common voice for the construction of martyrs' cemetery. The former CPC Dayong County Committee and people's Government complied with the requirements of Dayong people and made the decision to build Zhangjiajie martyrs memorial tower in 1985. More than 200 mu of forest land for martyrs cemetery in Huilongguan city was selected. Under the leadership of the former county Party committee and the county government, the county people and the higher authorities paid attention to and cared for it.

In the south of the cemetery, Huilong Pavilion, 32 meters high, stands on the top of the mountain, which is shoulder to shoulder with the memorial tower of revolutionary martyrs. This pavilion was built in the Ming Dynasty and is located on Qinglong mountain in the east of the city. At that time, the courtyard was quiet and clear, the walls were red and the tiles were blue, the ancient trees were hidden, and the yuan domain was protected. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it was one of the "eight outer scenes" of the county. In the 13th year of the Republic of China, because of the monk's carelessness, the pavilion was burned. In order to show the humanity and restore the East scenery of the city, the Party of the city cultivated trees and flowers and rebuilt the pavilions. Now you can go to the pavilion and look at the north and south. The ancient cave is opposite to the gate of heaven. The fog locks the clouds and hides the crouching tiger. You can open the secluded window and listen to the East and West with the help of the qulan. The long river flows down the Li River, and the waves roll back.
