The Huanghuagang Tombs have an important place in Chinese history, as they mark the deaths of those who died during an abortive uprising in 1911 to overthrow the country's last imperial dynasty.

The mainland tour, from July 6 to 13, will also take Yok and his delegation to Nanjing, Dalian and Beijing.

In Nanjing, the group will pay their respects at the Mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen, forerunner of China's democratic revolution.

In Beijing, the delegation will visit the Memorial Hall of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and take part in activities to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII.

Through the visit, the New Party is playing its role in improving cross-Straits relations, Yok said.

"All Chinese descendants should draw a lesson from history and shoulder the historic mission of maintaining national unity and seeking peaceful reunification of the motherland," he said.

The New Party has always adhered to the one-China principle, opposed Taiwan independence, and advocated expanding relations across the Taiwan Straits.
