About Former Kwantung Army Headquarters
This two-storey European-style building was put up by Russia in 1903, served from 1906 as the army department of Japan's Kwantung Government-General, and from 1919 housed the Kwantung Army headquarters, where the Mukden Incident of September 1931 was planned; the headquarters moved to Shenyang on 19 September that year. It later became an army hospital, was used by Soviet and then Chinese forces, and opened as a museum site in 2004, joining the Lüshun Museum in 2007. It was being restored in 2025.
