The Qiu Shaoyun Martyrs Memorial Hall is built to commemorate martyr Qiu Shaoyun of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The memorial hall is located at the top of Fengshan Mountain in Shaoyun Park, Tongliang District, Chongqing City. On both sides of the main entrance of the memorial hall are building structures in the shape of raging fire, which reminds people of Qiu Shaoyun’s deeds and implies the symbolic meaning of a fiery diamond. The cypresses in the hall are tall and straight, the camphor trees are fragrant, and the ancient banyan trees spread out huge canopies and are dotted among the green grass and red flowers. The entire hall is composed of two parts: the monument and the exhibition hall of heroic deeds.
