How to Visit
1

Reserve or register before entry

Free entry does not always mean walk-in without process. Check the current reservation or registration method before going.

Tip:Bring identification if required.
2

Visit with a quiet pace

This is a memorial site for soldiers of the Tengchong campaign. Move respectfully through the shrine, cemetery slopes, and memorial areas.

Tip:Avoid playful posing or selfies with graves.
3

Pair it with the war museum

The cemetery and Western Yunnan War of Resistance Memorial Hall explain the same history from emotional and documentary angles.

Tip:Together they need more time than a quick photo stop.
4

Use commentary if available

A guide, museum explanation, or audio context helps visitors understand the battle and memorial layout.

Tip:The site is more meaningful with historical context.
Highlights
  • A solemn memorial to Chinese Expeditionary Force soldiers
  • Rows of named memorial stones on the hillside
  • Shrine and memorial spaces tied to the Tengchong campaign
  • Direct connection to the nearby war museum
  • A serious historical stop in central Tengchong
Insider Tips

Dress and behave respectfully.

Do not use graves as photo backgrounds.

Check museum closure days if visiting both sites.

Bring tissues or water; the visit can be emotionally heavy.

Use a taxi or nearby parking rather than trying to combine too many city stops by car.
