The liberation of Chenjiagang embodies the blood of many revolutionary martyrs. In order to remember the martyrs and educate future generations, in 195 1 year, with the approval of the East China Military and Political Commission and the Subei Administrative Park, Huaibei Salt Bureau built the Huaibei Salt Field People's Martyrs Tower and Martyrs Cemetery in Chenjiagang, the resident of the Salt Special Zone. The project started on 195 1 September1August, and was completed on the third anniversary of the full liberation of Chenjiagang in the same year. & shy;

Martyrs Cemetery is located in the northern suburb of Chenjiagang Town, Xiangshui County, covering an area of 60,000 ㎡, with the main mausoleum area of 12000㎡. In the middle of the main mausoleum, there is a monument to the people's martyrs in Huaibei Yanchang. The tower is quadrangular, 9.5 meters high, and the bottom of the tower is a two-story platform. The east wall of the tower is engraved with the inscription of Hui Yuyu, the former director of the Subei Administrative Office, and the west wall of the tower is engraved with the inscription from 65438 to 0955. The local government built a memorial hall for the people's martyrs in the north of the memorial tower, and built hexagonal pavilions on the front, left and right sides of the memorial tower. After ten years of civil strife, the steles commemorating Hui and Du were destroyed. Later, Chenjiagang and Kanto Salt Field repaired the tower and restored the original words. In 2004, Chenjiagang Town and Kanto Salt Field jointly decided to clean up, rebuild and expand the martyrs cemetery to comfort the martyrs. As soon as the news came out, all walks of life responded with donations and materials. By March 2004, a total of 570,000 yuan had been raised. After renovation, the Martyrs Cemetery has taken on a new look, and the revolutionary historical materials are richer. There is a stele gallery on the west side of the main mausoleum area, and flowers and trees have been replanted in the park. Comrade Han Peixin, former secretary of jiangsu provincial party committee, inscribed the name of "Huaibei Yanchang People's Martyrs Memorial Hall". At present, there are 4/kloc-0 revolutionary martyrs in the Martyrs Cemetery. It has been listed as a cultural relic protection unit by the people's governments of Xiangshui County and Yancheng City, and has become an important patriotic education base in Yancheng City and Lianyungang City. Every year, nearly 10,000 veterans, primary and secondary school students and local cadres come here to pay homage and receive revolutionary traditional education activities. Kaishan Island is located at the Guanhekou, which is known as "Huangpu River in northern Jiangsu", with an altitude of 30.4 meters. The whole island is composed of dark brown shore stones, rugged and steep, with a total area of 654.38+0.5 million square meters. Facing the vast Yellow Sea, you can watch the sunrise on a sunny morning. Because there are overlapping houses on the island overlooking the Potala Palace, it is called "Potala Palace on the Sea". & shy;

Although Kaishan Island is a tiny place, it is located at the mouth of Guanhe River, with dangerous terrain and important strategic position. It is called the throat of "one person guards it, no one can enter" and has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is said that when the Japanese invaders landed from Guanhe River, they first occupied Kaishan Island and built turrets in Haikou, and the architectural sites are still there. After liberation, the construction of Kaishan Island has begun to take shape. At present, there are 60 or 70 houses and public facilities such as small power stations, restaurants, auditoriums and basketball courts. Now it has become a great pleasure for people to watch the sunrise at sea, the big fish worship the dragon king, the ebb and flow of river irrigation, fishing in the sea, and enjoying the four-gill bass, a specialty of river irrigation.
