The Erqi Tower

The Erqi Tower was built on September 29, 1971, to commemorate the setting up of Workers' Union of Beijing-Hankou Railway as well as the strike of rail workers held at Zhengzhou Pule Park (today's Erqi Memorial Hall) on February 7, 1923. The tower has altogether 14 storeys, totaling 63 meters in height, and 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.
