The site of the former Japanese command headquarters in the Panjiayu Massacre is a cultural relics protection unit of Hebei Province.

The site of the former Japanese command headquarters in the Panjiayu Massacre is located in Panjiayu Village, Fengrun District. It was designated as a cultural relics protection unit of Hebei Province on February 7, 2001.

The Panjiayu Massacre Memorial Hall is a museum established to commemorate the victims of the “Panjiayu Massacre” during the War of Resistance against Japan and to provide patriotic education for future generations. The memorial hall is located in the central area of Panjiayu Village, Huoshiying Town, Fengrun District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. On January 25, 1941, the inhumane Japanese invaders surrounded Panjiayu and carried out a horrific massacre of unarmed villagers, resulting in the deaths of 1,230 fellow countrymen. To honor the victims of the massacre, the local government built the Panjiayu Massacre Memorial Hall in 1999. It has since been named a Patriotic Education Base by the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and Government, as well as a National Patriotic Education Demonstration Base.
