Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is located at the 200 meters south of the Monument to the People's Heroes. The foyer houses a seated figure of Chairman Mao in white marble. Behind it is a 7-by-24 metre needlepoint woollen tapestry 'Such a beauty is our motherland'. In the second room, Chairman Mao's remains recline in a crystal coffin, with the red flag of the Communist Party of China draped over his body. The building was completed in 1977.
Currently, the remains of late Chairman Mao are mechanically raised from a freezer for viewing, then lowered again at night.
