History

Construction of the park started in 1954 and finished in 1957 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Guangzhou Uprising. The door on the stone wall was engraved with the text "Guangzhou uprising martyrs cemetery" by China's first prime minister Zhou Enlai.[1]

There is currently a station for the Guangzhou Metro Line 1 in front of the park.
