| As it is well known,
the opium-burning event led by Lin Zexu marked the beginning
of China's modern history. Lin Zexu's opium-burning pit
and the Humen Fortress indicate the important role Dongguan
played in the beginning of China's modern history.
The Humen Fortress is located by the
Pearl River estuary. The green mountains and the clean
waters create an excellent view. Lin Zexu's opium-burning
pit and the Humen Fortress are important historical
sites under national government protection due to their
historical value. Humen is an educational base for national
patriotism and the prevention of narcotics use.
