The Tashan Scenic Area (simplified Chinese: 塔山风景区; traditional Chinese: 塔山風景區), literally translated to "Pagoda Mountain Scenic Spot",[3] or Tashan Scenic Zone,[4] is a scenic spot located in Tucheng Village, Lianshang Town, Chenghai District, Shantou City, [5] covering an area of 3,200 mus [6] (approx. 19.7 km²). The area is known as Tayuan (塔园), or Tower Park, and was opened to the public in 1990. Including the later-closed Cultural Revolution Museum, it contained 25 scenic spots related to the Cultural Revolution. One side of the mountain has a 900-year-old temple.[2]

Cultural Revolution Museum

On January 1, 2005, Shantou Cultural Revolution Museum, the first museum dedicated to the Cultural Revolution in China,[7] was opened in the Tashan Scenic Area, due to the unyielding efforts of Peng Qi'an (彭启安),[8] the former vice mayor of Shantou.[9] In 2016, the museum was closed down.[10]
