Iron Man Wang Jinxi Memorial
铁人王进喜纪念馆
A national first-class museum shaped like a worker, telling the story of the 'Iron Man' Wang Jinxi, who led the 1205 drilling team in the Daqing oilfield battle.
The Iron Man Wang Jinxi Memorial is at the junction of Shiji Avenue and Tieren Avenue in Ranghulu District. Seen from above, the main building is shaped like the Chinese character 工 (gong, meaning 'worker'), and from the side it resembles the character 人 (ren, meaning 'person'). In front of the memorial is Iron Man Square. Exhibits use old photographs, notebooks, drilling tools and reconstructed scenes to tell the story of Wang Jinxi, from Yumen to Daqing and his words, 'I would rather lose twenty years of life than fail to win this big oilfield.' The memorial is a national model base for patriotic education. Free admission requires an advance booking with your ID card. Opening hours are 09:00 to 16:30, with last entry at 16:00. It is closed on Mondays.
