China's State Council has recently released the second batch of 100 state facilities and sites commemorating the war against Japan, as this year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45). The first 80 facilities and sites were released last year ahead of the 69th anniversary.

Japan invaded northeastern China in September 1931 and launched a full-scale invasion on July 7, 1937. About 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed or injured in the war that followed.

The war left behind a vast array of historical sites in various locations of China for people to remember the past. The following are some of the most visited ones.
