Erqi (February 7) Memorial Tower
I have been doing some reading on Zhengzhou City and came across some thing that I thought was very interesting. The City Center really is just that but it is Erqi or February 7 Square. The clock tower that I saw and took several pictures of is actually a Memorial Tower. In this tower are
there are exhibits explaining the start of the city as the center of China. Zhengzhou was handpicked to be a transportation hub and doesn’t have a long history as an urban city. I was able to find lots of interesting
facts about this city and the 2-7 Square. What I found staggering is that it mentioned that the square comes alive at night with vendors coming out and the locals hanging out. Was it quite the times when we went? I don’t know that I need to see busy after the afternoons we have spent there…lol. Anyway all of this information and more can be viewed by you at http://wikitravel.org/en/Zhengzhou
