Dandong Korean War Memorial, a tribute to history.

🌟Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dandong, a city of heroes, not only attracts tourists with its beautiful natural scenery, but also commands respect with its profound historical heritage. The Korean War Memorial, as one of the iconic attractions of Dandong, is undoubtedly a very educational and emotionally shocking place to visit. 🏛️Hall of historical reproduction: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Korean War Memorial is located on Yinghua Mountain on the banks of the Yalu River in Dandong City, facing Sinuiju City, Democratic People's Republic of Korea across the river. The memorial was first built in 1958 and has been expanded and renovated many times. It has now become a thematic memorial that fully reflects the history of the Chinese People's War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and the movement to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Walking into the memorial is like traveling through time and space, back to that era of war. Every picture, every video, every cultural relic vividly shows the bravery and sacrifice of the volunteer soldiers. The outdoor exhibition area also has a large array of aircraft, artillery, and radar formations, which is very shocking! 🎖️Ode to the deeds of heroes: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The memorial has several exhibition halls, including the Preface Hall, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea Hall, the Movement to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea Hall, the China-DPRK Friendship Hall, and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Hero Hall. These halls fully, objectively, and truthfully reproduce the glorious history of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and the movement to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Especially in the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Hero Hall, when I saw the photos and relics of the soldiers who bravely sacrificed for the country and the people, I couldn't help but shed tears. Their heroic deeds and selfless dedication made me deeply understand what patriotism is and cherish today's peaceful life even more. 🏛️Ingenuity of architecture and design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The architectural design of the Korean War Memorial is also quite ingenious. The memorial tower stands tall, with the seven gilded characters "Korean War Memorial Tower" inscribed by Comrade Deng Xiaoping inlaid on the front. The tower is 53 meters high, symbolizing the great victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in 1953. The entrance steps are made up of 1,014 pieces of stone, symbolizing the 1,014 days and nights that the volunteer soldiers fought in Korea. Every detail embodies respect and tribute to history. 📚Mission of education and inheritance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Korean War Memorial is not only a monument to history, but also an important base for patriotic education. Through visits and learning, one can deeply feel the cruelty of war and the preciousness of peace. The self-service visit service, cloud explanation, public welfare explanation and other projects launched by the memorial allow audiences with different needs to get satisfactory service. This kind of educational and meaningful visit experience makes us more determined to remember history, cherish peace, and contribute to the realization of world peace and prosperity. 💡Tips: The memorial is free to visit, but there are many visitors, so it is recommended to make an appointment in advance to avoid waiting in line. The memorial has several exhibition halls and interactive experience areas, so it is recommended to arrange your visit time reasonably for a full experience. Please keep quiet during the visit and respect the cultural relics and exhibits. Do not touch or damage them. In short, the Dandong Korean War Memorial is a baptism of the soul and a sublimation of the spirit. Here, not only can you learn about that magnificent history, but also feel the great sacrifices made by the revolutionary martyrs for the country and the people, and let us cherish our current life even more and inspire the passion to continue to struggle for the motherland.
