Situated
on Renmin Lu, the People's Great Hall (renmin
dahuitang), which was completed in April
1954, is an example of typical Chongqing
architecture. Covering an area of 18500
square meters, this five-story rotunda is
65m high and 46m in diameter, spacious enough
to hold over 4200 people and slightly reminiscent
of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
