Daxing'anling 5·6 Fire Memorial Hall

　　The Daxing'anling "May 6th" Forest Fire Memorial Hall was constructed to reflect on and commemorate the massive forest fire that struck Daxing'anling on May 6, 1987. It was completed and opened to the public on October 22, 1988, and underwent renovation and expansion in 2006. The new hall covers a site area of 2,900 square meters, with a building area of 2,518 square meters and an exhibition area of 2,260 square meters.

　　The first floor houses five exhibition halls: "The Source of the Fire," "The City Engulfed in Flames," "Tragic Moments," "Hell on Earth," and "A City in Mourning." The second floor features seven exhibition halls: "The Oil Depot Defense Battle," "The Decisive Battle in the Greater Khingan Mountains," "Disaster Relief Assistance," "Rebuilding Homes," "Firefighting and Escape," "Modern Firefighting Techniques," and "Forest Fire Prevention Regulations." The third floor includes an "Explore Mohe" exhibition hall and a surround-screen theater, comprehensively showcasing the entire process of the "May 6th" fire — from ignition and disaster, to firefighting, disaster relief, rebuilding homes, and ecological restoration.

　　The memorial hall utilizes various display methods such as photographs, scene reconstructions, sculptures, sand tables, and surround-screen films, along with advanced domestic and international technologies including electronic projection, holographic imaging, and interactive models. These vividly, systematically, and in detail present the full course of the "5.6" fire — from outbreak and disaster, to firefighting, relief efforts, reconstruction, and ecological development. In 1999, it was designated as a Provincial Youth Education Base by the Provincial Youth League Committee, Cultural Relics Management Committee, and Civil Affairs Department. In 2003, it was rated as a "AA" level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration.

　　The "5.6" major forest fire in 1987 destroyed 1.01 million hectares of forest resources, posing enormous challenges to the recovery of forest ecosystems. The reopening of the memorial hall plays a positive role in helping people deeply understand the real scenes of the "5.6" fire, learn from historical lessons, and always bear in mind that "forest fire prevention is the top priority in forested areas." It serves to strengthen public awareness of forest fire prevention, cherish existing forest resources, and protect the ecological environment.
