Haimen, located next to the Yangtze River and Yellow Sea, is the birthplace of Zhang Jian (1853-1926), a trailblazer and role model for Chinese entrepreneurs.

Embracing the close relationship between education and industry, Zhang, with his forward-thinking vision, established the "first modern city" in the Jianghai Plain.

Visit the Zhang Jian Youth Study Center, Zhang Jian Memorial Hall, and Yisheng Cultural Park to learn about Zhang's story.

The once thriving Qinglong Port is a symbol of his ascent and triumph. Despite the withering of flowers, he retired after attaining success, leaving behind an inspiring tale for future generations.

The modern and technological museum sparks the curiosity and quest for knowledge in children. The transformation of once barren land into a green steel city reveals "how steel is made". Robot Town offers a vibrant display of new quality productive forces.

The "Jianghai Tide Blue Living Room" showcases a group of exemplary workers and craftsmen who have fostered a culture of "learning from Zhang Jian, following the example of Zhang, and promoting Zhang".
