Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The former Minfeng Paper Mill factory building is located at No. 70 Luli Street, Nanhu Subdistrict, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City. Originally established as Hefeng Paper Company, Minfeng Paper Mill was founded in the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923) by the renowned patriotic democrat Chu Fucheng, who invited friends such as Sheng Liangzhou, Huang Weisan, Yang Menglong, and Chen Liangqing to raise 360,000 yuan for its establishment. In August of the 14th year of the Republic of China (1925), it officially went into production. After over 70 years of development, the company covered a total area of 1.07 million square meters, with building floor space of 374,000 square meters. Within the factory grounds, there are two sections of old factory buildings on the east and west sides of the internal road, covering a total area of 10,219 square meters. The eastern section (Workshop of Factory 1) features walls made of blue bricks, partially plastered, with arched windows, cement flooring, a flat-roofed frame structure, generally two stories high with some parts four stories, originally serving as the papermaking workshop. Currently, part of it functions as a warehouse, while office areas have been repurposed as production workshops. Inside the workshop is Machine No. 1, with dense piping overhead. It measures 60.05 meters from north to south and 72.26 meters from east to west. The western section was originally Factory 3 but now houses Factory 1’s building, serving as the workshop for producing capacitor paper. It is a single-story structure with some two-story sections, oriented north-south in a rectangular shape, with blue brick walls. Interior walls are painted white, with cement flooring, and Machine No. 6 is stationed inside the workshop. The building has dense piping both inside and out, measuring 89.64 meters from north to south and 65.6 meters from east to west. Minfeng Paper Mill was one of the few domestic enterprises in the Jiaxing area during the 1920s and represented the advanced papermaking technology of the time. It enjoyed high recognition in Jiaxing, and its factory buildings hold significant historical and scientific value. It was designated as a municipal-level cultural heritage site in Jiaxing in 2010.
