Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, located in Beijing, China, is a mausoleum dedicated to Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China. Situated prominently in Tiananmen Square, the hall was constructed shortly after Mao's death in 1976 and officially opened to the public in 1977. The structure is designed in a monumental style, reflecting the significance of Mao's leadership in Chinese history. Inside, visitors can view Mao's preserved body, which lies in a crystal coffin, surrounded by an array of flowers and tributes.
