The Pizhou Wang Jie Memorial Hall is a national AAA-level tourist attraction, a classic red tourism destination, and a patriotic education base.

The Wang Jie Memorial Hall is located in Zhanglou, Yunhe Town, Pizhou City. Its main attractions include an exhibition room, a statue of Wang Jie, the site where Wang Jie sacrificed his life, Wang Jie’s tomb, the memorial pavilion commemorating his sacrifice, and a wall inscribed with dedicatory inscriptions. It is a key martyrs' memorial building under the protection of Jiangsu Province and a national 3A-level tourist attraction.

Construction of the memorial park began in November 1965. The memorial pavilion was built at the site where Wang Jie sacrificed his life. It features a double-layered, six-sided glazed tile roof with upturned eaves, surrounded by green pines. To the south of the pavilion is the memorial room, which displays the personal belongings of Comrade Wang Jie and various commemorative items. South of the memorial room lies the martyr’s tomb, a cement structure with a round arch. The front and side walls of the tomb feature inscriptions by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Dong Biwu, as well as poems written by the martyr.

The Wang Jie Memorial Hall scenic area was first established in 1966. After multiple renovations, expansions, and landscape upgrades, it now covers an area of 59 mu. Key memorial facilities include: the Tomb of Martyr Wang Jie, the Exhibition Hall of Wang Jie’s Deeds, Wang Jie Square, and the Memorial Pavilion at the site of his sacrifice. In 1987, the Wang Jie Memorial Hall was approved by the provincial government as a key martyrs' memorial building under the protection of Jiangsu Province. In 2009, it was designated by the State Council as a national key martyrs' memorial building. It has gradually developed into an important red tourism destination and patriotic education base in the Huaihai Economic Zone.
