To praise the heroic history of the heroes in Sanyuanli, in October 1950, Guangzhou Government set up a Sanyuanli Revolutionary Martyrs Monument [1] in a hillock of Ximen building (Chinese: 西门楼). Around the monument, there is the Sanyuanli Incident Memorial Park. The park covers an area of 7920 square kilometers, with a solemn and serene architectural style.
Sanyuanli Incident Museum is located in Sanyuanli Temple.[1] The temple was Taoist temple for worshipping Taoist God. During the first Opium War, people in Sanyuanli took a mass pledge in front of the temple, which was the beginning of the anti-aggression war of Chinese. Therefore, Sanyuanli temple has become an important historical revolutionary site. In post-war time, Guangzhou Government has conducted several renovations for the temple in order to keep its original appearance. In 1961, Sanyuanli Temple became one of the cultural buildings under National Relic Protection, and it was renamed as Sanyuanli Anti-British Revolt Museum. Until now, the museum is one of the Patriotism Educational Sites in Guangzhou, Guangdong and China range.
