Site where, after the Wannan Incident, the Kuomintang held captured New Fourth Army officers, soldiers and patriots; a nationally protected cultural site and 4A scenic area. Highlights = the Maojialing prison site, the Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall and the forest of memorial steles; the artifacts and historical record on display are sobering. Established in 1941, it reportedly held more than 700 New Fourth Army cadres and soldiers captured in the Wannan Incident, many of whom died here. It is a national patriotic education demonstration base and an important stop on red-themed study-tour routes.
Getting there: City bus, Jizhongying (Concentration Camp) stop
