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."
Tianjin Dagukou Fort Ruins
Tianjin Dagu Fort Ruins Scenic Area is a national 4A-level tourist attraction and a national patriotism education demonstration base. Dagu Fort was built in the 22nd year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1817) and was an important battlefield in the Second Opium War and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance. After the "Boxer Rebellion", it was forced to be demolished according to the humiliating "Xin Chou Treaty". As a historical witness of the Chinese nation's resistance to foreign aggression, the State Council announced the Dagu Fort Ruins as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 1988. The Dagu Fort Ruins Museum building has an irregular radial shape, which is inspired by the collision of Eastern and Western cultures and the outburst of national spirit. The museum has a construction area of 3,900 square meters and consists of the prologue hall, the capital's sea gate, the Dagukou Fort, the fall of the national gate, a 3D cinema and other parts. The exhibition adopts an art form that combines museums and memorial halls, and a display method that combines traditional and modern means. Through modern means such as sound, light and electricity, it objectively and vividly shows the tragic history of the Dagukou Fort, which has experienced foreign invasions and has gone through several ups and downs, as well as the historical relics of the Chinese people's fearlessness and tenacious resistance.
