Former Site of the Lüshun Red Cross Hospital

The former site of the Lüshun Red Cross Hospital is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The former site of the Lüshun Red Cross Hospital was built in 1900 in the Russian architectural style. During the period of Russian rule, it served as a Red Cross hospital. After Japan occupied Lüshun in 1905, it was taken over and used by the Japanese Red Cross Society. In 1907, it was renamed the Japanese Red Cross Society Kwanto Prefecture Hospital and ceased operations in 1916. In 1922, it was converted into the Kwanto Government Lüshun Hospital. After Lüshun was taken over by the Soviet Army in 1945, the building was also used by them. After 1955, it was taken over and used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

In May 2013, the former site of the Lüshun Red Cross Hospital was listed as part of the seventh batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.
