Located next to the Hunan Provincial Museum, Martyr's Park is the city's largest park, complete with lush gardens, a large lake, carnival games and rides (the latter two carry their own admission fee).

Outside of these choices for rest and relaxation, Martyrs' Park is best known for its 58-meter Memorial Tower, which pays homage to a generation of China's fallen heroes, adorned with well-known inscriptions and quotations from Mao Zedong.
