The Daoyin Building is situated to the north of the State Government Office. It was the site of the Yanji Border Affairs Office during the Qing Dynasty and was constructed in the first year of the Xuantong era (1909). The complex originally had 221 rooms with blue bricks and tiles, among which the most magnificent was the dignified and classic government office building. It measures 20.8 meters in length from east to west and 18.6 meters in width from north to south. This two-story building features blue bricks, black tiles, double eaves with upturned corners, and is surrounded by corridors. Twenty-two red-painted round wooden pillars stand 1.7 meters away from the outer walls of the building. In 1914, after being converted into the Yanji Dao (Prefecture) Office, it became known as the Daoyin Building. It is the only surviving Qing Dynasty structure in Yanji City and has a history of nearly 100 years.
