The memorial hall of Anti Japanese martyrs is one of the earliest landmark buildings in the Anti Japanese mountain. It was built in 1942. It is a cave like building imitating Yan'an. It expresses the revolutionary feelings of the army and the people who were far away from Yan'an at that time. There are 26 inscriptions of national leaders and generals in the memorial hall. They are all old leaders who fought and lived in Ganyu. Among them, military cadres are old leaders who were awarded the rank of major general or above from 1955 to 1965, including Liu Shaoqi, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Yi, Xiao Hua, Gu Mu, Chen Shigui and other revolutionary ancestors. The long steles on both sides of the memorial hall are engraved with the names of more than 1300 martyrs, and there are "living martyrs" on them today. The main reason is that the frequent wars at that time inevitably led to omissions in the statistics of the wounded and sick.
