Tomb of Tan Sitong
谭嗣同墓
Tan Sitong's tomb on the hillside southeast of the city, with stone horses, ceremonial pillars and the inscription “Enduring Through the Ages.” It is a place to pay respects to reform figures.
Tan Sitong's tomb lies on a hillside about 7 km southeast of Liuyang's urban center and is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Tan Sitong was executed in 1898 after the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform, and the following year his coffin was returned to Liuyang for burial. The tomb park is modest, with a burial mound, stone horses, ceremonial pillars and couplets, and its atmosphere is solemn. Admission is free. A taxi from the city takes about 15 minutes. It can be visited together with Tan Sitong's former residence to learn more about his life.
