Dandong Memorial Hall of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Memorial Hall of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is incredible and highly recommended!
It is also known as Korean War Memorial. The space is huge, with a total floor space of 23,000 square meters. Everything is purposely displayed: this is the only museum (though, more properly a memorial hall) that openly discusses and gives a comprehensive view of the events that unfolded during and after the Korean War. The museum has more than 20,000 cultural relics including battle reports, maps, medals, photographs and videos captured by the Chinese, providing a vivid insight into the war. It feels like a sacred space.
The Outdoor Weapons Exhibition Park, also known as the National Defense Education Park, is about 16 hectares with over 150 pieces of military equipment. It includes Soviet T-34 tanks, Soviet 122mm Howitzers, Soviet Katyusha rocket launchers, single barrel 37mm antiaircraft artilleries, 85mm artillery cannons, MiG-15 jet fighters, Tu-2 light bombers, and a single steam locomotive.
Definitely worth a visit, some notes and mindful reflections.
