Sanyuanli Incident Museum is located in Sanyuanli Temple.[1] The temple was Taoist temple for worshipping Taoist God. During the first Opium War, people in Sanyuanli took a mass pledge in front of the temple, which was the beginning of the anti-aggression war of Chinese. Therefore, Sanyuanli temple has become an important historical revolutionary site. In post-war time, Guangzhou Government has conducted several renovations for the temple in order to keep its original appearance. In 1961, Sanyuanli Temple became one of the cultural buildings under National Relic Protection, and it was renamed as Sanyuanli Anti-British Revolt Museum. Until now, the museum is one of the Patriotism Educational Sites in Guangzhou, Guangdong and China range.
