155 jaar Chinese immigratie, Chinese immigration memorial at Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam, Suriname.
The stone monument features a flat upright structure with a rounded cap, positioned on a tiled platform along the Suriname River.
The memorial marks the arrival location of the first Chinese contract laborers who reached Suriname on October 20, 1853, initiating decades of migration.
Two dark stones display inscriptions in Chinese characters and Western script, with a turtle symbol representing strength and determination in Chinese traditions.
Located within Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam, the monument provides visitors with information about the Chinese migration history through detailed inscriptions and symbolic elements.
The monument, created by artist Paul Woei, incorporates a stone turtle that appears to emerge through the structure, connecting past and present generations.
