The South Building is located in Tengjiao Village, Chikan Town, Kaiping City, facing Tanjiang River in the south and Dongjiaolong Highway in the north. In 1912, the Situ people built this building to prevent thieves. The South Building is 19 meters high with 7 floors and covers an area of 29 square meters. It is a reinforced concrete structure with rectangular holes on each floor. On July 16, 1945, on the eve of the surrender of the Japanese invaders, in order to open up the main route of the South Road for retreat, they divided their troops from Sanbu and rushed to Chikan Town. blow. On the 17th, Chikan fell. That night, the Japanese army surrounded the South Tower by land. Due to the disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy and the lack of reinforcements, some members of the Self-Defense Force broke out in the fierce battle, leaving behind 7 members including Situ Xu, Situ Xuan, Situ Yu, Situ Chang, Situ Yao, Situ Nong, Situ Bing, etc. For 7 days and 7 nights, the Japanese army was hit hard. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Kaiping held a memorial service in Kaiping No. 1 Middle School, with more than 30,000 participants in Kai, En, Tai and Xin Siyi. At the memorial service, people lined up to protect their spirits to the Tengjiao Temple, placed the martyrs' spiritual seats in the Sanling Palace, and renamed the Sanling Palace "Seven Martyrs Temple", which shows that the heroic deeds of the martyrs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In March 1999, Kaiping City raised more than 3 million yuan to build memorial halls, statues, archways and other scenic spots in the original site and Jiannan Building Memorial Park, making it a charming tourist attraction and a patriotic education base.
Go to Chikan Ancient Town to see the road signs, not far from the Nanlou Park, drive all the way. The South Building is south of the Tan River. The picturesque South Building of the Tan River was built in 1912, and it was built for the prevention of theft. The building is 7 floors high, with reinforced concrete structures, each floor has a gun eye, and the observation deck is a strong siege barrier. In July 1945, seven Situ's people used the South Building to block the Japanese invasion, and showed the heroic nature of defending the motherland. Now it has become a patriotic education base.
The South Building Memorial Park has no tickets, mainly including the South Building and Qilieqi, where there was a tragic story during the Anti-Japanese War. The seven soldiers who stayed in the South Building and the Japanese Army fought for seven days and seven days and finally died heroically. Now there are still traces of gunfire on the building. You can go up to visit, but the corridor is dim and a bit gloomy. There are also seven martyrs to commemorate the seven martyrs nearby, but the traffic is not very convenient and there is no need to go there.
This is a tragic story of anti-Japanese resistance, read many times, but every time it will make me moved, whenever our nation needs such a blooded man. The park is very small and should be considered a memorial. The entrance is the cypress passage. You can see the carvings of the seven martyrs and the south building that cannot be bombed. I don't know why I still need to charge tickets, although it is not expensive. I went late, I couldn't go upstairs, and the memorial was closed. In fact, just look at the walls of the mottled holes bombed by Japanese bombs, which was enough to feel the fierce fighting at that time.
The South Building is located outside Chikan Town, and takes bus No. 6 to Chikan Town. It was also used to work with Japanese ghosts during the Anti-Japanese War, and it is also a patriotic education base.
A park suitable for a family of young and old leisure travel, the air is very green, other facilities are general.
