Rare old construction photos of Beijing's Great Hall of the People in China show that it was built in just 11 months, a feat that can be considered a miracle!

In the capital of China, there are many special buildings, and one of them is the Great Hall of the People, which stands solemnly under the protection of the national emblem.


Whether it's the external structure or the interior design, it's full of the charm of Chinese aesthetics, making it irresistible and immersive.

The national emblem at the top of the Great Hall of the People constantly proves to the world that if faith had a color, it would surely be Chinese red.


As one of the top ten buildings in the capital, the Great Hall of the People has 34 halls, each displaying unique styles and features.


Here, one can feel the solemnity and sacredness of the nation while being deeply moved by the aesthetic shock brought by this top-notch architecture.

Looking back at the initial construction photos of the Great Hall of the People, can you feel the enthusiasm and respect of those builders?


Completed in just 380 days from design to completion, the Great Hall of the People not only became a miracle in world architectural history but also gave many countries a new understanding of Chinese architecture.


With a total area of 150,000 square meters and a building area of ​​171,800 square meters, the solemn momentum pervades the entire building, inspiring awe.

To ensure the smooth progress and timely completion of the project, the builders involved signed project guarantee certificates to express their determination and commitment to this building.


These certificates are not only the builders' vows but also the source of confidence for the Chinese people.


It is their perseverance and persistence that have filled all workers with confidence, believing that they can surely complete this seemingly impossible task.

Once construction started, people from all levels actively participated, even national leaders personally getting involved.


Leaders of various departments and construction workers worked together, brainstorming and strategizing together to draw up plans in both 2D and 3D.


The chief designer and chief architect of the Great Hall of the People, Zhang Bo, poured his lifelong architectural knowledge and effort into this project.

To ensure the smooth progress of the project, he worked day and night, ultimately leading the team to complete the construction of the Great Hall of the People.


In the ten months leading up to the National Day, the builders of the Great Hall of the People not only had to ensure the quality of the project but also had to showcase China's style to the world in a brand-new light.


Every detail was strictly controlled to ensure the successful completion of the project.


Mao Zedong personally reviewed the construction plans of the Great Hall of the People and visited the construction site multiple times.

He personally inspected every detail, seeing the Great Hall of the People as a child about to be born, the crystallization of the efforts of Chinese architects, and an opportunity for China to make its mark.


Though time has passed, the Great Hall of the People still displays its solemn and magnificent architectural style, never going out of fashion.


Every time one sees it, they are reminded of the arduous and outstanding construction scenes, marveling at the resilience and contributions of their predecessors, who left such a magnificent building for the motherland, a source of pride and fortune for the nation.
