Memorial of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Article is new enough, long enough, written a neutral manner, and supports the hook. QPQ has been completed. The article is fully cited and avoids close paraphasing of the English-language sources; using automatic translation, the Chinese-language sources also look appropriate. Not required for DYK, but the Rough Guide has some more details of the museum and its immediate surroundings which would be interesting to include in the article, particularly if supported by other sources. Image illustrates the article nicely, is appropriately licensed, and is clear at small size. It does need rollover text adding - do we know more specifically what it is depicting? Maybe the museum entrance? The hook is interesting but wordy, how about:

- Overall, good work! Warofdreams talk 20:59, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Warofdreams: Thanks for your review! ALT1 works for me. As for the photo, it comes from a VOA article, which unfortunately does not provide more detailed information. I suspect it's the entrance to the main hall, but don't know for sure. -Zanhe (talk) 21:14, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Looking through images of the museum make it clear that this is the main entrance (there's another building to its left, probably the painting hall, but either way this is the visible entrance with people entering and leaving), so I've added a caption in the article. ALT1 approved. Warofdreams talk 21:38, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
