Originally a 1920s coal mine on Chongqing's outskirts, Zhazidong later served as a detention center run by the Nationalist Government's Military Statistics Bureau.

Surrounded on three sides by hills and facing a gorge, its hidden location was used to imprison and persecute revolutionaries, most famously the patriot "Sister Jiang".

Rebuilt onsite, Zhazidong realistically reflects its former oppressive atmosphere, with disturbing torture implements on display. The compact site can be paired with the Martyrs' Cemetery and Bai Mansion. 

Convenient shuttle buses connect Zhazidong to other Hongyan Revolution sites. Take bus T198 and walk 247 meters. Reflect on the sacrifices of China's revolutionaries at haunting Zhazidong Prison.
