Great Hall of the People, Convention center in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, China.

The Great Hall of the People (Chongqing People's Auditorium) is a symmetrical complex on a raised platform, centred on a circular domed auditorium 55 m high with an internal diameter of 46.33 m. Its green-tiled, red-rimmed roof rises above a red and white facade, with lower green-roofed wings to the east, south and north. A red gateway with blue and gold panels and gold Chinese characters stands before it.

Construction began in June 1951 on the Maan Hill site opposite the Southwest Military and Political Committee headquarters, with Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping and He Long behind the project. Zhang Jiade's design was chosen from five entries in July 1951; He Long wanted the Tiantan, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Guangzhou memorial combined. The hall opened in April 1954, was renamed Chongqing People's Auditorium in 1955, and was listed as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in March 2013.

The name changed with the institution: begun in 1951 as the Southwest Military and Political Committee Great Hall, it became the Sino-Soviet Building during the First Five-Year Plan, and took its present name in 1955. Today the Chongqing Municipal People's Congress and the People's Political Consultative Conference meet here.

The hall faces People's Square in Yuzhong District, opposite the Three Gorges Museum, and is best seen from the square below. It remains the meeting place of the Chongqing Municipal People's Congress and the People's Political Consultative Conference, so the interior is not always open to visitors.

The dome's steel lattice roof weighs 280 tonnes and is held together by over 75,000 rivets, with sliding bearings at its base that let it expand and contract with temperature. British architects ranked the hall second among 43 notable buildings erected in China after 1949 in the Banister Fletcher history of architecture.
