Getting There

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. The exhibitions inside are divided into several sections, detailing the background, course, and significance of the Chengdu Campaign, and displaying precious relics such as weapons and equipment used in the battle and personal belongings of soldiers. Visitors can gain an in-depth understanding of the final decisive battle on the southwestern front at the end of the War of Liberation.

The entire site also includes the Martyr Cemetery, a monument, and other memorial facilities, creating a solemn atmosphere. During festivals such as Qingming (Tomb-Sweeping Day) and National Day, groups and citizens often come to pay respects. For history enthusiasts and families with children, this is a vivid patriotic education journey, and a place to appreciate the hard-won peace we enjoy today.
