Chongqing people’s auditorium

The Great Hall of the People is located on Renmin Road. It was built in the 1950s. It is an exquisite antique ethnic building group and one of the landmark buildings in Chongqing. The auditorium adopts the architectural features of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the traditional central axis is symmetrical, and its appearance imitates the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The auditorium was named “Southwest Military and Political Hall” when it was first constructed, and was officially named “Southwest Administrative Committee Auditorium” after it was completed. The auditorium is now a theater and a conference center, where the Chongqing People’s and Party Congresses are held. After Chongqing was established as a municipality directly under the Central Government, the front of the auditorium was rebuilt into the People’s Square with lawns and fountains. At night, the auditorium is very beautiful under the illumination of the lights. There are many local aunts dancing in the square in front of the auditorium. Opposite the auditorium is the China Three Gorges Museum, which can be visited together.
