About Zhazidong

Zhazidong Concentration Camp (Zhazidong Prison, Zhazidong Detention Center) is located at the foot of Gele Mountain in Chongqing, 2.5 kilometers away from Bai Gongguan. Zhazidong was originally a small coal kiln on the outskirts of Chongqing. It got its name because there was a lot of slag but little coal. It is now part of the former site of the "China-US Cooperation Institute" concentration camp, a national key cultural relics protection unit. More than 200 revolutionary martyrs, including Jiang Zhujun, Xu Jianye, and He Xuesong, were imprisoned and sacrificed here. Zhazidong Detention Center is divided into two courtyards: an inner courtyard and an inner courtyard. There is a ventilation dam in the inner courtyard. There are 16 male cells on the first floor and two female cells on the ground floor. The outer courtyard is the secret service office and torture chamber.
