The Monument to the People's Heroes

The Monument to the People's Heroes is a concrete structure in Shanghai, China. The structure is located at the confluence of the Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River, within the grounds of the Huangpu Park.

The structure was built to commemorate revolutionary martyrs as well as those who have lost their lives fighting natural disasters by the Shanghai municipal government in the 1990s.

The structure stands 24 metres tall, and is built in the stylised shape of three rifles standing against each other. The Monument is surrounded by a paved space used by locals for morning exercises.
