The Gubeikou Great Wall Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall is located on the west side of the Battle of Gubeikou Cemetery, a city-level cultural relic protection unit. The whole group of buildings is composed of the main hall, east and west halls, the main entrance and the side entrance, surrounded by courtyard walls. Due to the specificity of its environment, the exterior of the buildings adopts an antique form and concrete frame structure.

The Gubeikou Great Wall Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall was built in 2008 and is located 50 meters west of the cemetery, covering an area of 3,200 square meters. In 2017, the auxiliary room was demolished, the memorial hall was expanded by 1,304 square meters, and the multi-media hall was expanded by 200 square meters. Now, the hall allows a comprehensive display of the history of the war in the Gubeikou Great Wall from March to May 1933.

The memorial hall displays many relics and documents of the Anti-Japanese War. On several red brocade-faced guestbooks, there are messages written by the families of Xu Tingyao, Wu Chaozheng, and other soldiers who commanded and participated in the defending war. The memorial also focuses on the anti-Japanese deeds in Fengluanmi and Chengxingmi led by the CCP and of the 10th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Jirecha Advance Army along the Miyun Great Wall after the battle in Gubeikou, and the acceptance of the surrender of the Japanese army stationed in Gubeikou by the Soviet Army and Chengxingmi United County.

The Anti-Japanese War that took place here more than 70 years ago fired the first shot of the Beijing Anti-Japanese War, and it was the largest and most bloody battle in the Anti-Japanese War on the Great Wall. 

After the end of the war in Gubeikou, soldiers' bodies lay uncollected and uncounted in the streets, and the crowd buried them in the vegetable cellars. Later, the KMT central government sent 500 bodies to Bengbu for burial, and the local people collected more than 360 remaining soldiers' bodies of the 17th Army from the fields and buried them in Gubeikou.

In this battle, compared to Japanese armies, the Chinese armies were in great lack of strength and weapons, but the vast number of patriotic soldiers, determined to defend their country to death, fought for the survival of the nation. The war debunked the myth of the irresistibility of the Japanese army and aroused the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people of the whole country.
