Visitors flock to Shanxi's Hundred-Regiment Campaign memorial hall
As China marks the 88th anniversary of the start of the entire nation's resistance against Japanese aggression, the memorial hall for the Hundred-Regiment Campaign, located in Yangquan, Shanxi province, has seen a surge in visitor numbers.
The memorial hall offers a deep insight into the campaign through its exhibition of almost 500 photos, more than 200 historical items and over 10 recreated war scenes.
Joined by about 200,000 troops from 105 regiments, the Hundred-Regiment Campaign took place in northern China from August 1940 to January 1941, during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In the resistance war, it was the largest and longest strategic offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army in North China, led by the Communist Party of China.
