Beijing West Road, Bayi Square, Donghu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province

Nanchang's landmark building

Introduction

In 1977, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the "August 1st Nanchang Uprising", the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower began construction and was completed on January 8, 1979. The tower is rectangular in shape and 45.5 meters high. On the north side are nine large characters in gold-plated bronze, inscribed by Marshal Ye Jianying, reading "August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower", below which is a granite plaque with a brief introduction to the uprising. The other three sides are adorned with granite reliefs depicting "Declaration of the Uprising", "Assault on the Enemy's Camp" and "Cheering for Victory". The tower has two wing walls, each decorated with the emblem of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army. At the top of the tower are a standing granite sculpture of a rifle inscribed with "Hanyang Made" and the August 1st Army flag made of red granite tiles. The August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower is grand in design and profound in meaning. Six levels of lighting and multiple projection lights are set on the tower, making it bright and transparent at night, symbolizing that the bright red color of the August 1st Army flag will never fade.
