A visit to this Taierzhuang War Memorial will give you an insight of the various wars that have happened in the past and its importance. The is no entrance fees and it is free to visit. There are some parts of the museum still under refurbishment when we were there and thus could not see its complete history's display. Recommend this visit for its rich history. Free entrance for the public.

I knew little about the details of this famous battle - this museum displays a very comprehensive step by step outline of the situation, which is enlightening for understanding the socio-cultural politics of the area. Great starting point before you visit the Ancient City
