Tianjin Boxer Rebellion Memorial Hall

　　The ruins of the Boxers' Lüzu Hall Altar Site are located at No. 18 Hejia Hutong, Ruyi'an Street, Hongqiao District, Tianjin.

　　The buildings of the site were constructed in 1719 and originally served as a Taoist temple dedicated to Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. It has undergone multiple renovations and mainly consists of the Mountain Gate, Front Hall, Rear Hall, and Five Immortals Hall.

　　In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion against imperialism broke out. In May, Boxer leader Cao Futian led thousands of followers into Tianjin and chose Lüzu Hall as the movement’s base, establishing its main altar site to resist the Eight-Nation Alliance. Later, other Boxer leaders such as Liu Chengxiang, Lin He’er, and Zhang Decheng, leader of the “No. 1 Regiment Under Heaven” from Duliuzhen, frequently came here to worship, gather, discuss strategies against the foreign invaders, and command Boxer operations. During the months of fighting between the Boxers and the imperialist forces, the Lüzu Hall Altar Site became one of the centers of Boxer activity in Tianjin.
