While most people know that Wang Jie was born in Jinxiang County, Shandong Province, Arong Banner, his adopted hometown, is less well-known. The Alun River flows through generations, and Wang Jie's spirit, like a revolutionary gene, is deeply rooted in the blood of the people of Arong Banner.
There are four Wang Jie Memorial Halls in China, one of which is located in Arong Banner. The Arong Banner Wang Jie Memorial Hall was completed and opened on August 24, 2004. Following Wang Jie Square, it is another important patriotic education center in Arong Banner. The Wang Jie Memorial Hall houses over 200 items, including Wang Jie's clothing and diaries. Since its opening, it has received over 400,000 visitors from all over the country.
The temperate continental monsoon climate is suitable for all seasons, with spring and autumn being the best.
