The unique beauty of Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall in Huai'an, Jiangsu
"Study for the rise of China", let us take this inspiration to go to the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall to pay homage to the Prime Minister, recall history, and appreciate its unique beauty.
The Three Major Beauties of Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall
■■The beauty of personality
His noble character is worthy of everyone to follow as a model. Throughout his life, he was a staunch Communist. He worked tirelessly and conscientiously, and devoted himself unreservedly to the country and the people. He was the people's good prime minister - Zhou Enlai!
■■Architectural beauty
The Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall is mainly composed of three major memorial buildings, and they are located on an axis, in order:
☞☞Main building——dignity, grandeur, good looking from any angle ☞☞Exhibition hall——simple and low-key
☞☞Two floors display Zhou Enlai’s life and achievements; it imitates the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai - simple and natural, with a bronze statue square in front.
■■The beauty of the environment
In spring, there are cherry blossoms and crabapple flowers all over the road🌸
In summer, there are lotus flowers and green leaves all over the pond. You can bring bread 🍞 to feed the fish 🐟🐟 (the lotus flowers have been taken away by humans, so there are very few lotus flowers and a large lake)
In autumn, the garden is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus
In winter, there is white snow everywhere; all year round, there are roses 🌸, swans 🦢, fish 🐠, and pine trees 🌲...
☞Three recommended tour routes for Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall
