The Yuhuatai Platform, cemetery for revolutionary martyrs, is a famous revolutionary resort and tourism scenic area in Nanjing. The Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial stands at the top of the cemetery for martyrs, with a height of 42.3 meters. This figure indicates that the liberation of Nanjing on April 23, 1949 was won by fearless struggle and sacrifice of numerous revolutionaries. The Second Spring of Jiangnan (or the south of the Yangtze River) on the east of the Yuhuatai obtained its name from Luoyou, a poet in South Song Dynasty. It was told that when visiting the Yongning Temple at Yuhuatai, Luo You found a spring in the temple and quite appreciated the color and taste of the spring water, and thus named it as “the Second Spring”. In comparison, the Galu (Sweet Dew) Well, one of the oldest wells in Nanjing, has a history of more than 1,700 years, with its water clean and sweet.
