Flood Control Memorial Tower

The Flood Control Memorial Tower is located on the square at the north end of Central Street. It is one of the landmark buildings in Harbin. The monumental tower has a magnificent shape, its architectural design is full of strong Russian style, and its location is relatively wide, so it has become a tourist attraction for tourists. The full name of the Flood Control Memorial Tower is Harbin People's Flood Control Victory Memorial Tower, and behind it is the Songhua River. In 1957, Harbin suffered a huge flood. The people of the city and the officers and soldiers there worked together to overcome the flood. The tower was built the following year to commemorate it. The memorial tower is a cylinder with a height of 22.5 meters. The tower body depicts the vivid plot of the victory over the flood in the way of relief. The top of the tower is a round sculpture of workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals, showing the heroic image of defeating the flood. There are 11 semi-circular pools at the bottom of the tower, whose water level is the high water level mark in 1957. Behind the tower is an ancient Roman-style cloister, surrounded by 20 columns, which blends with the memorial tower and is harmonious and spectacular.
