What else to know
We link no official booking page here — the museum is free and reservations run through its WeChat mini-program/account, not a bookable website, so there's no official booking URL to link; the official informational site is en.kmycjng.com (English), which we confirmed live but which does not sell or reserve tickets. This large hilltop memorial — a 53 m tower plus halls holding over 20,000 relics and a vast 132 m panoramic painting of a Korean War battle — gives the Chinese perspective on what China calls the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (the Korean War), with well-labelled bilingual exhibits venerating the Chinese People's Volunteers. It reopened in 2020 after a long renovation. Reach it on city buses (e.g. 122 or the H1 Red Bus from the railway station). Free; reserve ahead.
If the official channel does not work
Do not assume an unrecorded booking route is available. Recheck the operator’s current instructions; where the interface itself is the obstacle, the practical mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
