## History

[edit]

Consulate General of the United States in Shenyang

The U.S. Consulate in Shenyang was opened in 1904.[3] It was originally housed in two abandoned Chinese temples, "Temples 'Yi Kung Ssu' and 'Scwang Chen Ssu' located outside the Little West Commerce Gate." Sometime before 1924, the Consulate moved to No. 1 Wu Wei Lu, a building which used to house the Russian Consulate. At the time, the United States had several other Consulates in Northeast China, including in Harbin and Dalian.[citation needed] These appear to have been closed by World War II. The Shenyang Consulate operated for most of the war and closed in 1949 after the new Chinese Communist Party authorities had imprisoned the remaining consulate staff in their offices for almost a year before expelling them. In 1984, five years after the United States recognized and formally established diplomatic relations with the government in Beijing, the Consulate reopened.[citation needed]
