Tianjin Boxer Memorial Hall
The Boxer Rebellion Memorial Hall is located at No. 18, Hejia Hutong, Ruyi'an Street, Hongqiao District, Tianjin. It is a Taoist temple dedicated to Lü Dongbin in the Qing Dynasty. In the 26th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1900 AD), the Boxer Rebellion arose. The famous Boxer leader Cao Futian set up the main altar here, which became the center of the Boxer Rebellion activities at that time. After restoration in 1985, the "Tianjin Boxer Memorial Hall" was established. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Boxer Rebellion is one of the three major revolutions in modern Chinese history. Sun Yat-sen called it a model for the Revolution of 1911, and Premier Zhou Enlai called it "one of the cornerstones of the great victory of the Chinese people fifty years later."
