Nanjing Massacre Memorial, Nanjing Shi, Jiangsu Sheng, China
The Memorial Hall to the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre was built by local Municipal Government in 1985 and extended in 1995, covering an area of 28,000 square meters. It is located in Jiangdongmen, one of the execution sites and mass burial places of the massacre.
Nanjing, a picturesque city lying by the Yangtze River, owes its fame to its favorable geographic position, galaxy of talents and profound historical background. Having served as the capital of ten dynasties in ancient China, its splendour has remained and even enlarged with an extended population up to 600,000 when the government of the Republic of China set up its capital there in 1927.
