Datong Mass Grave Memorial, National historical memorial in Datong, China

The Datong Mass Grave Memorial is a national site dedicated to remembering workers who died under forced labor conditions. The complex houses exhibition halls with artifacts, documents, and displays that chronicle the experiences of those who lost their lives.

The memorial commemorates the Second Sino-Japanese War period when thousands of workers perished in the region's coal mines under brutal conditions. The site was established to document and preserve this tragic chapter of history.

The memorial complex includes educational displays and artifacts that document the development of coal mining practices throughout different periods of Chinese history.

The site is open to visitors who can explore the exhibitions at their own pace or join guided tours. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance and plan enough time for a thorough visit.

An art installation at this location uses visual expression to represent the tragic events and creates an additional layer of remembrance. This artistic element allows visitors to connect with the history on an emotional level.
