About
Wei Xian Memorial 潍县纪念碑, (Buses 31, 59 and a host of other busses). Just south of the intersection of Yuhe Road and Shengli Street. There is an old WWII era concentration camp memorial north of People's Hospital down by the river. Thousands of Western prisoners of war, including Eric Liddell, portrayed in the movie Chariots of Fire, were interned here during the Japanese occupation - an interesting, little known site in Weifang. The names of the prisoners are written in Chinese on the monument, but their English names are on a plaque to the south.
