A bit of history
The building was originally a Taoist temple built in 1719 to honor the immortal Lü Dongbin. During the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty, it was rebuilt and named Lüzutang. In 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion, Boxer leader Cao Futian set his headquarters here, with an altar at the main entrance. In 1985, the building was restored and renamed the Tianjin Boxer Rebellion Memorial Hall.
