Tan Sitong Memorial

Tan Sitong memorial hall is located next to Tan Sitong's former residence. It is one of the famous tourist attractions in Liuyang City. After arriving in Liuyang City, we took bus No.4 (No.3 and No.14 are OK) to Caishikou subway station, and then walked south along the west side of Caishikou street. Not far away, we saw the dilapidated Liuyang guild hall and Tan Sitong Memorial Hall. As the memorial belongs to the patriotic education base, it is open to the public free of charge. You only need to register your ID card at the door to visit. The whole memorial hall can be summarized as "three entrances in depth, five rooms in width, three buildings, two courtyards and one Pavilion". The layout is rigorous and the planning is neat. In particular, the sculptures in the building are vivid and rich in meaning, showing the unique charm of this ancient house built in the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, in order to protect the memorial, all the buildings nearby have been demolished. It makes it a little lonely here. The Shaoxing guild hall nearby looks similar. Cultural relics can't be protected in this way.
