Former French Post office in Beijing, Colonial postal building in Dongcheng District, China
The grey brick structure in Beijing combines European architectural elements with traditional Chinese design features, reflecting its early 20th-century construction period.
The French Post Office operated from 1900 to 1922 as part of the foreign postal network that served expatriate communities during the late Qing dynasty.
The building represents the intersection of French and Chinese influences during a period when European nations maintained diplomatic quarters in Beijing.
Located at 19-1 Dongjiaomin Xiang, the former post office stands near multiple historical sites and remains accessible through Beijing public transportation.
The structure features distinctive architectural patterns that illustrate the French colonial postal system's presence in northern China during the early 1900s.
