Qiyi Barracks

　　Qiyi Barracks is situated within Nanyuan Airport. During the Qing Dynasty, it was a military garrison and the site of the Nanyuan Divine Engine Corps. In 1922, when Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the Army Inspector in Beijing, Qiyi Barracks served as the headquarters of the Army Inspectorate. During the 1924 Beijing Coup that ousted the Qing emperor, it functioned as Feng Yuxiang’s command post. At the time of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, it was the headquarters of the 29th Army.

　　The current total floor area of Qiyi Barracks is 3,912 square meters, facing south. Above the main gate hangs a plaque inscribed with “Army Inspectorate Headquarters.” On either side of the gate are guardhouses, and facing the entrance is the first row of barracks, all designed in a Sino-Western Gothic architectural style. The second, third, fourth, and fifth rows have been restored in the style of Qing Dynasty garden architecture, featuring traditional Russian-style colored paintings. It is a key cultural heritage site under the protection of Fengtai District.
