19th Route Army Martyrs Cemetery

The 19th Route Army Martyrs Cemetery commemorates soldiers who died fighting Japanese forces during the January 28 Incident in Shanghai in 1932. Many of the soldiers were from Guangdong, which gives the memorial a local connection despite the battle taking place far away.

It is a quiet historical stop rather than a major monument, but it adds useful context to Guangzhou's Republican-era memory sites.
