EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the bustling railway station at Lushunkou, a historic district in the northeastern Chinese municipality of Dalian, Liaoning Province. Formerly known as Port Arthur or Ryojun, Lushunkou was a significant Russian concession and port city during the late Qing Dynasty and early 20th century. The image showcases the grandeur of the railway station, with its imposing red-brick buildings and intricate architectural details. The platform is filled with activity as passengers prepare to board steam-powered trains, their luggage in tow. The tracks stretch out into the distance, leading to the bustling port and beyond. The presence of Russian influences is evident in the signage and uniforms of the railway staff, reflecting the city's rich history as a Russian concession. Lushunkou was a vital transportation hub, connecting China to Russia and Europe via the Trans-Siberian Railway. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of railway transport during a time when it revolutionized travel and connected the world in new ways. Today, Lushunkou is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a chance to explore its rich history and cultural heritage.
