Enjoy a day outside with a bit of history on the side at Longhua Revolutionary Martyr's Cemetery, Shanghai's ode to those who gave their lives for socialism in China
Between 1928 and 1937 Communist party members and other political agitators were imprisoned, executed and buried within the confines of the infamous Kuomintang prison.
In 1995 it became the Longhua Revolutionary Martyr’s Cemetery, as a memorial to those who had died in the struggle to bring socialism to China.
