The Yuhuatai Martyrs Park is located outside of the Zhonghua Gate, Nanjing. It covers an area of about 152.7 hectares with more than 300 thousand trees. 90% of the park is covered by trees. Since the King Goujian of the Yue Kingdom set up city there in 472BC, Yuhuatai has become a very famous place for climbing. In 1927, Yuhuatai became Kuomintang army's execution ground, which was used to execute China Communists.
