🎧  Listen to Introduction

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.
