In October 1909, Jing Runshan, a businessman from Zhejiang, purchased 20 mu of land in the western suburbs of Shanghai to establish a garden, which was completed in 1914.

In 1917, Jing's wife, Wang Guozhen, expanded the garden by an additional 55.6 mu to the west and renamed it the International Cemetery.

In January 1984, the cemetery was re-organised as the Mausoleum of Soong Ching Ling, Honorary Chairman of the People's Republic of China, which came under state protection in February 1982.

Korean independence leaders, including Park Eunsik, No Baek-rin and Shin Gyu-sik, was once buried in the cemetery before relocated to South Korea.
