"The World's No.1 Pavilion" was inscribed by Mao Zedong. The Great Hall of the People is the most magnificent of the top ten buildings in the capital, which was built to welcome the 10 anniversary of the founding of New China. 1in the early morning of September 9th, 959, president Mao Zedong inspected the construction site and named the building "Great Hall of the People". Since then, the Great Hall of the People has shouldered a great historical mission and, as Mao Zedong hoped, has become a discussion hall for the benefit of the people.
