Ancient Culture StreetZhou En Lai Memorial
This memorial is dedicated to Zhou En Lai, one of China's famous and well admired and loved sons. Premier Zhou En Lai is known as a skilled diplomat and pragmatic statesman. Although often in the shadows of Chairman Mao Ze Dong, Premier Zhou had been reputed to played many key roles in founding of Modern China and subsequent political, social and economic development. At least, Zhou is one of my favorites.
Zhou En Lai studied in the Tianjin Middle School, then in universities in Japan and later in the Nankai University of Tianjin. Hence, it is no surprise that his memorial is located here.
By contrast, Chairman Mao has a masoleum in the middle of Tiananmen Square in downtown Beijing.
This memorial located near the Tianjin Tower at a lakeside park. There is a bus that comes in this direction and a 500m walk. Do come early as the memorial closes early around 3-4pm.
