Harbin People's Flood Control Victory Memorial Tower, also known as Flood Control Victory Memorial Tower and Flood Control Memorial Tower, is one of the cultural relics protection units in Harbin City, located in Daoli District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. In 1957, Harbin was threatened with catastrophic flooding, and the local people worked hard to build a dam to hold back the flood. The government decided to build a memorial tower on the embankment of the Songhua River to commemorate it. The memorial tower's top and body are carved with figures and reliefs, depicting scenes of resistance to floods, and the design plan has undergone several revisions during the construction of the tower. The memorial tower was finally completed in 1958 and became one of Harbin's landmarks, but was nearly destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Since then, the Flood Control Memorial Tower has been renovated several times, and in 1995 it became a cultural relics protection unit of Harbin City, and in 1997 it was visited by Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
