Visited some tourist attractions in Fuzhou, one of which is the Lin Zeshu Memorial Hall.
"Lin Zexu (1785-1850), a native of Fuzhou City, was a national hero in modern times. Since childhood, his diligence led to his success to become a candidate in the imperial examination. In his forty years’ career as an official, he obtained great achievements, such as the reduction of crop taxes, harness of the Yellow River, the build-up of the coast defense and stationing troops to reclaim wasteland."
Spot the photo bomber Jen:)) I've mentioned her on my previous posts, she speaks mandarin really really really well that she inspired/motivated me to strive even more to learn and practice my mandarin language.
with my super sweet brother :)
"The most outstanding of Lin Zeshu's deed was his resolute elimination of the opium trade in 1939, when he was acting as an imperial envoy to Guangdong on the mission, and had 1,185,000 kilograms of opium destroyed at Humen beach, thus greatly inspiring the Chinese people throughout the country and fiercely discouraging the American and English opium traders."

Proceeded to the Chongwu ancient city after visiting the memorial hall. Chongwu Ancient City is a special tourist attraction which gathers coastal scenery, historical relics and folk custom together. It is the only well-preserved stone city in China.
