International Aviation Martyrs’ Cemetery

The secluded complex at the north foot of Zijin Mountain might be the only war monument in the world to commemorate the military alliance of China, Russia, the United States and Korea (before the North and South split).

Two 15-meter-tall stone tablets were built to mourn the 3,305 pilots from these countries who lost their lives mainly fighting against the Japanese invasion in China between 1930s and 1940s.

Around them stand 10 three-meter-tall marble walls, inscribed with the martyrs’ names, hometowns and years of birth and death.

The complex also contains two semi-underground museum halls which present the remains and backgrounds of these formidable airmen.
