The first stop on the Middle East Railway—Manzhouli

The Middle East Railway (China's Eastern Provincial Railway) is a "T"-shaped railway built by Tsarist Russia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century in order to seize the resources of Northeast China and dominate the Far East. The west line: Binzhou line from Harbin to Manzhouli; the east line : Binsui Line from Harbin to Suifenhe; Southern Line: Harbin-Dalian Line from Harbin to Lushun, which took five years to complete from 1898 to 1903. There are still railway stations along the railway line at that time, and some are still in use today, such as Zhalantun Station, Angangxi Station, Hengdaohezi Station... and the supporting building groups at that time (i.e., the Middle East Railway Building Group). Manzhouli Station was built in 1901. It was the first station connecting the Siberian Railway to the Eastern Railway. To the east of the current railway station, a large area of ​​buildings from that time has been preserved. Although the Middle East Railway has colonial features from Tsarist Russia, objectively it also brought advanced Western civilization and ideas, promoted the development of early industry in the Northeast, and created the overall prototype of the Northeast Railway. The rise of the towns along the railway also originated from that A piece of history!
