Site of the British Vanquisher Corps in Sanyuanli
The site of the 'British Conqueror' Corps in Sanyuanli ( Chinese 三元里 平 英 团 遗址 , Pinyin Sānyuánlǐ píngyīngtuán yízh englisch , English Site of the “Quell the British” Corps at Sanyuanli ) is located in the Sanyuanli street of the Baiyun district of southern China Guangzhou City (Canton). In the 19th century, Sanyuanli was still a northern suburb of Guangzhou (canton).
During the First Opium War , British soldiers began looting in the Sanyuanli village area. On May 29, 1841, several looting soldiers were killed by angry villagers. A force against the British was organized together with residents of neighboring villages. When over a thousand British soldiers invaded Sanyuanli on May 30th, they were defeated by the villagers with the support of 103 surrounding villages.
The site has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (1-1) since 1961 .
