Chenghua District: Red Building 1956

Red Building 1956, originally called Moscow Red Building, is located next to the Renju Overpass on the Second Ring Road in Chengdu. Built in the 1950s, it was once known as the most beautiful building in Chengdu. The building was commissioned by the famous Harbin Tool Factory and designed by Soviet experts. The design was then handed over to the Chengdu Tool Factory, and the Russian-style Moscow Red Building was built, becoming a beautiful sight in the eastern suburbs. The building became a landmark in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, even overshadowing the Jinjiang Hotel built in 1960. The building was originally beige, but was later painted red, and locals affectionately call it the Red Building.
