Former Site of the Wàn Zì Huì

The former site of the Wàn Zì Huì is a cultural heritage conservation unit of Yingkou City.

The former site of the Wàn Zì Huì is located in the Third Floor Community of Batiandi Subdistrict Office, Zhanqian District. The "卍" character symbol can still be seen on the building today.

The building is 21 meters long from north to south and 24 meters wide from east to west, featuring a concave floor plan and facing south. It has a total coverage area of approximately 504 square meters, with the building itself covering about 314 square meters. The entire structure is built with blue bricks and features a tiled roof. The exterior walls are adorned with square brick pillars clad in brushed stone, while the window and door lintels are also treated with brushed stone and fitted with simple decorative elements. On the southern entrance façade, the pillars flanking the main gate have been converted into windows. According to research, the building was constructed around 1904 and served as the former site of the International Red Cross in Yingkou.

In 2012, the Yingkou Municipal People's Government (Ying Zheng [2012] No. 173) designated the former site of the Wàn Zì Huì as a municipal-level cultural heritage conservation unit. The cultural heritage protection scope and construction control zone designated by the Yingkou Municipal People's Government (Ying Zheng [2013] No. 185) are as follows: the protection zone extends 5 meters east, west, south, and north from the outer base of the exterior walls of the former site; the construction control zone of Category II extends 20 meters south, north, east, and west beyond the protection zone.
