The old photo of Lvshun, Liaoning in 1903, showing the style of “Port Arthur” a hundred years ago

A group of old photos of Liaoning Lushun in 1903 were released, so that we can have a look at the style and features of Lushunkou a hundred years ago

Port Arthur is the port of Lushunkou, Dalian. The name comes from the old Western name at that time. Port Arthur is also known as“ Gibraltar in the East;. Because of its large scale of port military projects and its strategic location is extremely important to China, North Korea, Japan, Russia and other countries, it was once the most important military port in East Asia. The label handed down from this group of photos calls Lushunkou Port Arthur

In the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Lushun was captured by Japanese troops, and the city was bloodwashed on November 22, 1894. On March 27, 1898, the Tsarist Russia paid tribute to Liao with its intervention, forcing the Qing government to sign the Luda Land Lease Treaty with it, forcibly leasing the military port Lushunkou and the commercial port Dalian Bay for 25 years. On May 7, the Qing government was again forced to sign the Luda Land Lease Renewal Contract with it. On February 8, 1904, the Japanese army raided Lushunkou, and the Russo Japanese War broke out. After an extremely fierce battle, the Japanese captured the Lushunkou military port

This group of photos was taken in 1903, when Lushun was under the rule of Russia
