Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall

The memorial documents the Nanjing Massacre and commemorates its victims at a historic site that includes burial remains. Plan a respectful visit with time to read and reflect. Its exhibition areas have separate reservation arrangements; they should not be treated as one continuous route covered by a single booking.

Hours, prices, booking rules and ID requirements can change. Confirm them with the attraction before booking or setting out.

Plan your visit

Check the memorial hall's separate exhibition reservations, entrances and identification requirements. Plan a respectful visit without assuming walk-in places.

Does one reservation cover every exhibition?

No. The memorial's July 2026 notice says the three exhibition areas require separate reservations. The Nanjing Massacre historical exhibition and the victory exhibition are near Yunjinlu station but have different entrances. The Liji Lane site is farther away, near Daxinggong station. Follow the location on your confirmed booking.

What if the reservation calendar is full?

The same notice identifies the memorial's official WeChat account as its reservation channel and says there are no additional on-site places. Do not travel expecting a queue to replace a reservation. Check current notices before booking and bring the original document used. The current passport verification workflow has not been tested; confirm it with the memorial rather than substituting someone else's ID.

How should I prepare for the visit?

Allow time for security and the exhibition rather than treating this as a quick photo stop. The subject includes mass killing and wartime suffering; consider the needs of younger companions and take breaks when needed. Follow staff instructions on photography and keep a respectful atmosphere.

Reviewed 19 October 2026. The notice contains summer-only opening hours, which are not presented here as October hours. Passport handling remains to be confirmed.

Opening hours

Confirmed opening hours are not available on this page. Check opening and last-entry times with the venue before setting out.

Getting there

Use the entrance for the exhibition area on your reservation. The historical exhibition and victory exhibition are near Yunjinlu on Metro Line 2 but have different entrances; the Liji Lane site is elsewhere, near Daxinggong. Check the current walking route from your chosen station exit.

Practical notes

The historical facts exhibition, "Three Must Wins", and the former site of the Liji Lane Comfort Station can be reserved separately. When visiting, please remain quiet and solemn, dress solemnly, and do not use flashlights. Please refer to the latest official announcement for opening, reservation and ticketing arrangements.
