Lin Zexu Memorial Hall

林则徐纪念馆

Lin Zexu was the first person in modern China to open his eyes to the world. The Lin Zexu Memorial Hall, located on Macau Road, was originally Lin Zexu's ancestral hall.
The museum, a classical garden-style building, is now used as an exhibition hall on Lin Zexu's life. Sections include "A Brief Biography of Lin Zexu," "Lin Zexu and the Opium War," "Lin Zexu and Disaster Relief and Water Conservancy," "The First Person to See the World," and "Lin Zexu's Handwriting," introducing Lin Zexu's life of patriotism and concern for the people.
There are three bluestone tablets inside, one is an imperial edict, one is an imperial sacrificial text, and one is an imperial inscription. All of them were given by the emperor when Lin Zexu died and were engraved when the temple was built.
