Burning Opium Pool Site at Humen

#winhkflight The site of Lin Zexu Opium-destroying Pool is located at the gate of Taiping Town, Dongguang County, Guangdong Province. There are Humen People's Anti-British Monument in the Opium War (1840) and Opium War Museum In 1839, Chinese people represented by Lin Zexu launched the first large-scale anti-opium campaign in human history. Over 1,150,000 kg of opium was destroyed publicly on the beach of Humen, Guangdong. The world was shocked. This also marked the beginning of modern china history. I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit historical museums and sites!
