Wu Xun Memorial Hall
武训纪念馆
A memorial to Wu Xun, a late-Qing beggar who funded schools through alms, located in Guan County and showing the story of his begging to found charity schools.
Wu Xun was a native of Liulin in Guan County in the late Qing dynasty. Raised in poverty, he gathered money by begging and founded three charity schools. He was hailed as the 'Extraordinary Beggar of the Ages,' and his story has had a profound influence in modern times. The Wu Xun Memorial Hall in Guan County displays his life, the history of his charity schools and later commemorative materials. Nearby are Wu Xun's tomb and the site of the Wu Xun Shrine. The hall is small, and admission is generally free. A visit takes about 40 minutes and can be combined with spring pear-blossom viewing at the Guan County orchards.
