East Asia Inn

East Asia Inn is a cultural heritage site protected by Changzhou City.

East Asia Inn, located at No. 116 Menghe North Street, Menghe Town, Xinbei District, was an inn (guesthouse) opened by the collaborator Yang Fulin during the Japanese occupation of Menghe. He rented the residence of Xie Liansheng, a local resident from the northern part of Menghe, and established the headquarters of the puppet army in this inn. The building has three bays and two courtyards, facing east with its back to the west, featuring three single-story houses along the street, and the second courtyard consists of three two-story buildings. On the north and south sides, there are unique “semicircular” firewalls.

Menghe Town: In 2003, as part of an administrative division adjustment in Xinbei District, the former Xiaohé Town and Menghe Town were merged to form Menghe Town. In 2011, with the approval of the provincial government, the Jiangsu Xinbei Modern Agricultural Industrial Park was established. In 2015, the Jiangsu Xinbei Modern Agricultural Industrial Park and Menghe Town implemented a unified "park-town integration" management system and began operating jointly. The Jiangsu Xinbei Modern Agricultural Industrial Park (Menghe Town) lies to the north against the Yangtze River and the ten-thousand-mu forest park of Little Huangshan, borders Chunjiang Town to the east, faces Xilaiqiao Town of Zhenjiang’s Yangzhong to the northeast, connects to Xixiashu Town to the south, and adjoins Gaogiao and the Little Huangshan mountain range of Danyang, Zhenjiang to the west...
