The Erqi Memorial Tower, situated in
the Erqi Square in downtown Zhengzhou of Henan Province, was built on September
29, 1971, to commemorate the setting up of Workers' Union of Beijing-Hankou
Railway as well as the whole-line Communist-led strike of rail workers held at
Zhengzhou Pule Park (today's Erqi Memorial Hall) on February 7, 1923.
The Erqi Memorial Tower has altogether 14
storeys, totaling 63 meters in height, and is also called Twin Tower, because
its body is made up of two connected quinquangular parts. A winding stair inside
the tower brings you up to the top floor, where you can get a bird's-eye view of
the whole city of Zhengzhou.
The tower looks solemn and imposing, which
has been one of Zhengzhou's historical spots.
