In 1919, a visionary breathed his last, leaving behind a legacy etched in steel. Here at the Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall, we celebrate the life and achievements of this remarkable engineer. Zhan Tianyou, born in 1861, spearheaded the construction of China’s first self-designed and built railway, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou line. The Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall, nestled at the foot of the Badaling Great Wall, chronicles his extraordinary journey. Opened in 1987, this memorial houses a treasure trove of over 2,000 artifacts. Pictures, charts, and even a sand table model bring Zhan’s world to life. The Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall showcases his instrumental role in shaping modern China’s railway system. He wasn’t just an engineer; he was a symbol of patriotism and technological advancement. His work extended beyond the Beijing-Zhangjiakou line, influencing projects like the Sichuan-Hankou and Guangzhou-Wuchang railways. Inside the Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall, you can trace his life’s trajectory. You can see the tools he used, the plans he drafted, and the medals he earned.
