Exhibition Hall of the Former Site of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign

　　The Exhibition Hall of the Former Site 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 offensive during the Chinese People's War of Liberation and a key battle that led to the peaceful liberation of Beiping. Commander Liu Yalou of the Tianjin Front Command held multiple 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 site of the command as a Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit. In 1982, the Tianjin Municipal People's Government re-designated it as a municipal cultural relics protection unit. After renovation in 1984, it was opened as the "Exhibition Hall of the Former Site of the Tianjin Front Command of the Pingjin Campaign."

　　The Exhibition Hall of the Former Site 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 courtyard residence, the total area is 280 square meters.

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