Lüshun Russo-Japanese Prison Site

The former prison preserves successive Russian and Japanese phases, including radiating cell blocks, inspection spaces and workshops. Its history also connects Lüshun with Korea through the imprisonment and execution of Ahn Jung-geun. Reading the site through its built evidence and carefully documented lives allows remembrance without sensationalism. The associated court is a separate historical site.
