Building of the Yanji Frontier Administration Office

　　Address: At the intersection of Guanghua Road and Congliu Street, Yanji City, Jilin Province, north of the People's Government of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Originally a large architectural complex covering an area of 290 mu, built around the first year of the Xuantong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1909). The complex included 221 rooms such as the South Building, North Building, Office Hall, Main Hall, Flower Hall, and blue-brick tile houses. Today, only the South Building remains, which is the Building of the Yanji Frontier Administration Office.

　　The building is 20.8 meters long from east to west and 18.6 meters wide from north to south. It is a grand structure with blue bricks, black tiles, and double-eaved, upturned corners. The round wooden pillars around the outer walls rest on finely carved drum-shaped plinths, and the corridors and eaves are adorned with exquisite geometric patterns, reflecting the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty. In the first month of the second year of the Xuantong reign (1910), after the Qing government abolished the Frontier Administration Office, the building was successively used by the Southeastern Road Military Defense Bureau, the Southeastern Road Observer, the Yanji Dao Magistrate’s Office, the Yanji Diplomatic Office, the puppet Jiandao Provincial Office, the puppet Provincial Office, and the Special Operations Section of the Security Bureau of the puppet Provincial Office.
