The Former Site Exhibition Hall of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign is a national AA-level tourist attraction, a classic red tourism site, and a patriotic education base.

The Former Site Exhibition Hall of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign is located on East Yaowangmiao Street, 11th Street, Yangliuqing Town, Xiqing District. The Battle of Tianjin was a major large-scale assault battle during the Chinese People's Liberation War and a crucial engagement that led to the peaceful liberation of Beiping. Liu Yalou, commander of the Tianjin Front Command, held numerous high-level military meetings here to plan combat strategies. This exhibition hall was established to commemorate the great campaign that liberated Tianjin.

In 1962, the then Hebei Provincial Government designated the former command site as a provincial cultural relics protection unit. In 1982, the Tianjin Municipal People's Government re-listed it as a municipal cultural relics protection unit. After renovation in 1984, it was opened to the public as the "Former Site Exhibition Hall of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign."

The Former Site Exhibition Hall of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign is located at No. 2, East Yaowangmiao Street, Yangliuqing Town, Xiqing District. Originally a traditional quadrangle-style residential house, it covers a total area of 280 square meters.

In 1962, Hebei Province designated this site as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.
