The main hall of Zhou Enlai Memorial is located on the base of green lawn, which symbolizes Premier Zhou's selfless dedication and lifelong consideration for the Chinese people. He will always take root in the land of the motherland. The main hall is 26 meters high, with the same level of height as Nanjing Zhongshan Mausoleum and Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall. The main hall is square and octagonal. The tetrahedron implies that Zhou Enlai's spirit is shining on our Chinese nation.

In 1954, 1962, 1964 and 1975, Zhou Enlai put forward the grand idea of "four modernizations" in China. Four granite pillars support the roof of the four slopes. It seems to be reminiscent of the cattle shed on the ancient Jianghuai plain, which carries the whole life of Zhou Enlai and serves the people. The four pillars support the four slopes, and the shape of the roof also looks like the pavilion waiting for crossing in Lixiahe area of Northern Jiangsu. When Zhou Enlai left home for the Northeast in 1910, he was waiting for the boat at the ferry Pavilion beside the canal, and then boarded the boat to the north. Taking the shape of the pavilion as his memorial, Zhou Enlai came out of the pavilion and finally returned to his hometown.

The third floor is the viewing platform, overlooking the ancient city and the museum area. If you look down from the top, you can see that the archway style gate and the herringbone attached hall are combined, which is exactly the pattern of "August 1", implying that Zhou Enlai led the August 1 Nanchang Uprising.

There is a white marble statue of Premier Zhou in the hall, with a base 4.7 meters high. The blue ceiling of the memorial hall allows the sun to shine directly on the four meter high white marble statue, surrounded by flowers and Changchun bonsai, implying that Zhou Enlai is a great man. The building of the attached Pavilion is in a herringbone shape. Facing the main Pavilion, it shows that Zhou Enlai is a good premier of the people, and he will always live in people's hearts. The attached hall has two floors, the second floor is mainly for office use, and the ground floor is equipped with celebrity calligraphy and painting hall and film and television hall.

The total height of Zhou Enlai's bronze statue means the 78 glorious years of his life.

The five glittering characters of "Comrade Zhou Enlai" on the base were inscribed by Comrade Jiang Zemin on December 31, 1997. The bronze statue weighs more than two tons. Zhou Enlai's posture was drawn from the habit of his hands akimbo and smiling when talking with workers and farmers in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which showed his approachable style.
