Memorial Hall of Accepting Japanese Surrender after the Anti-Japanese War is located at Qiliqiao in the eastern suburbs of Zhijiang County,Hunan Province's Huaihua City. It is composed of a memorial archway, the Chinese-American Air Force Club, an exhibition hall in memory of the victory over Japan and memorial stone inscriptions. This is the only group of buildings in memory of China to accept Japan's surrender.
About 3.5 km out of the county to the west lies a stone bridge called the Qili Bridge, which means "3.5 km". A deep carving on the stone tablet at the head of the bridge reads "the place of the Japanese military surrender".A tall memorial archway across the bridge is known as "China's archway of triumph". The Zhijiang Memorial Archway for Accepting the Surrender was built in 1946 with white stones and an image of the word "xue", or "blood".About 50 meters north of the gate lies a row of black, single-storey wooden houses.That was where Japanese representatives signed the surrender document. The room has been well-preserved with everything kept in the original condition even after 70 years.
