Zhazi Cave Prison + Baigongguan + Zhou Mansion + China Three Gorges Museum
Sino-American Cooperation Organization Concentration Camp Site - Zhazidong Prison
Zhazidong Concentration Camp, located at the foot of Gele Mountain in Chongqing, was a prison established by the Kuomintang Military Statistics Bureau. It is famous for the movies "Eternal Life in Flames" and "Red Rock". Many revolutionary martyrs were imprisoned here, making it an important place to witness the history of the Chinese Communist Party's revolutionary struggle. Zhazidong was originally a small coal mine, named for its abundance of coal slag. Later, it was rebuilt into a prison by the Kuomintang Military Statistics Bureau and called the "Sino-American Cooperation Organization" to the outside world. In reality, it was a hell on earth for persecuting revolutionaries. The prison's internal facilities were simple and the management was strict, making it evidence of the Kuomintang reactionaries' brutal suppression of the revolution. Zhazidong and Bai Gongguan together constitute the core of the Gele Mountain Martyrs Cemetery, a national key cultural relics protection unit and a patriotic education base.
Former Site of Bai Mansion
The former site of Bai Mansion is located in Gele Mountain, Shapingba District, Chongqing. It was originally the villa of Bai Ju, a Sichuan warlord. In 1939, Dai Li built the Sino-American Cooperative Organization prison on the original site, which was later rebuilt by the Kuomintang secret service into a secret prison for detaining underground members of the Communist Party of China, progressives, and patriotic democrats. Famous communists who were imprisoned here include Luo Shiwen, Che Yaoxian, and Song Qiyun. On the eve of liberation, the Kuomintang secret agents carried out the shocking "11.27 Massacre" here. Bai Mansion and Zhazidong are both important birthplaces of the Red Crag Spirit, and have now become important bases for commemorating revolutionary martyrs and carrying out patriotic education.
Zhou Mansion
