Visitors flock to Yunnan memorial

Unlike most public museums, the Memorial for the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Western Yunnan, located in Tengchong city of Yunnan province, is a very special one.

Nearly all of the 80,000 items kept in the memorial were compiled by a native collector named Duan Shengkui over the past 30 years.

The memorial was built by the local government with an investment of 150 million yuan ($22 million) and opened to the public for free in 2013.
