The Yuhuatai Platform, cemetery for revolutionary martyrs, is a
famous revolutionary resort and tourism scenic area in Nanjing. The
Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial stands at the top of the cemetery for martyrs,
with a height of 42.3 meters. This figure indicates that the liberation of
Nanjing on April 23, 1949 was won by fearless struggle and sacrifice of numerous
revolutionaries.
The Second Spring of Jiangnan (or the south of the Yangtze River) on the east
of the Yuhuatai obtained its name from Luoyou, a poet in South Song Dynasty. It
was told that when visiting the Yongning Tempble at Yuhuatai, Luo You found a
spring in the temple and quite appreciated the color and taste of the spring
water, and thus named it asĦ°the Second SpringĦħ. In comparison, the Galu (Sweet
Dew) Well, one of the oldest wells in Nanjing, has a history of more than 1,700
years, with its water clean and sweet. |
