Some 170 million yuan (US$25 million) has been invested in the new project.

A layout map shows that the new park will be divided into 11 zones, including a "red memorial area", with a martyrs monument on top of the Jingshan mountain.

The park is now closed for construction.

Jingshan is a well-known revolutionary base and the Jingshan Martyrs' Park was set up about half a century ago. More than 200 martyrs were buried next to a memorial pavillion on the hillside of the Jingshan mountain in the park. Late president Li Xiannian inscribed the park's name in 1985.
