The Natural Stone Bridge Martyrs' Memorial Pavilion was originally constructed in 1958 to honor revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the War of Liberation. This site once served as a vital transportation corridor along the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou border region and was part of the route taken by the Long March forces. In 1949, the Southwest Field Army of the People's Liberation Army engaged in fierce combat here against remnants of the Nationalist forces, resulting in the heroic deaths of numerous officers and soldiers. To commemorate these fallen heroes, the local government erected the memorial pavilion beside the natural stone arch—known as "Natural Stone Bridge"—in 1958, ensuring their memory would endure forever.
The pavilion is built with reinforced concrete, featuring a four-cornered gabled roof and standing approximately 6 meters tall. Inside, a green stone tablet stands upright, inscribed on the front with “Revolutionary Martyrs Live Forever,” and on the back, detailing the heroic deeds and course of battle. Surrounding the pavilion are pine and cypress trees, creating a solemn atmosphere. The Natural Stone Bridge itself is a karst-formed natural arch, measuring 28 meters in length and 12 meters in height. Its sturdy structure and imposing presence make it both a remarkable natural wonder and a site of profound historical significance.
This memorial pavilion serves as an important base for red education in southern Sichuan, embodying deep revolutionary traditions and patriotic spirit. It was designated a county-level cultural heritage site in Xuyong County in 2013 and included in the Lüzhou City List of Protected Red Resources in 2021. The inscriptions on the stone tablet were handwritten by veteran party members from the local community, possessing notable historical documentation and calligraphic artistic value.
✨ One pavilion commemorates eternal loyalty; one bridge bears enduring valor. More than just a monument, this place stands as a silent witness to a turbulent era of war and sacrifice.
