Memorial Park of the Overseas Chinese Mechanics
南侨机工回国抗日纪念公园
A memorial with monuments and a museum honouring more than 3,000 overseas Chinese mechanics from Southeast Asia who returned to drive and rush wartime supplies along the Burma Road. It is located in Wanding Forest Park.
In 1939, more than 3,000 overseas Chinese drivers and mechanics from Southeast Asia answered Tan Kah Kee's call to return to China. They rushed wartime supplies along the Burma Road, and more than a thousand of them lost their lives. The memorial park is located within Wanding Forest Park in Wanding Town and includes a monument, a wall inscribed with the mechanics' oath and a museum. The museum displays old photographs, vehicle parts and personal belongings of the mechanics. Entry is free, but the museum may be closed on Mondays, so check on site. It is about a 10-minute walk from Wanding Bridge.
