In Detail
The Chengdu Campaign Memorial Hall is located in Tonggu Village, Xilai Town, Pujiang County, Chengdu. It was built to commemorate the Chengdu Campaign (the decisive battle for the liberation of Chengdu) in December 1949. Through abundant historical materials, artifacts, and photographs, the hall vividly recreates that magnificent period of history. It is an important patriotic education base and red tourism attraction in Sichuan Province.
The memorial building is solemn and dignified, with a spacious square in front. Surrounded by verdant pine and cypress trees, the setting is tranquil.
