Housed in the former US Embasy
The
entire walled and gated compound of the Yan Huang clinical Hospital was
originally the US Embassy during the Qing Dynasty. It was built in 1902
and served that purpose until 1949. After "China’s Liberation"
in 1949, it was used as an Official State Guesthouse. Subsequently, it
served as the residence of Premier Zho En Lei, from 1969 to 1979. There
is a large conference table in one of the rooms, in the main building,
where Premier Zho En Lei held discussions on opening up China to the West
and developing relations with America. President Nixon and other famed
people such as Henry Kissinger and Tanaka of Japan sat at this table of
such great historical importance.
The
office of our former President George H. Bush, the father of our current
President George W. Bush was in the main building. While in Beijing, he
served the US Government as the highest official in the corresponding
office.
The
King of Cambodia lived in one of the guesthouses for approximately three
years. The buildings have since been restored and are elegantly adorned
with antiques that are simply beautiful. The largest room of the main
building now serves as a reception area for foreign dignitaries. The backdrop
of ancient rice paper murals, calligraphy, china vases and relics accompanied
by modern furniture creates a mood of elegance and comfort. The initial
compound is now used exclusively by Yan Huang Hospital.
