The Lvshun Prison is located on Yuanbao Lane in the old city of Lvshunkou District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province.

The Lvshun Prison was a den controlled by fascists where Chinese people were slaughtered when Russian and Japanese imperialists ruled Lvshun and Dalian. The prison was erected by Russian invaders in 1898. Having captured Lushun and Dalian, Japan rebuilt the prison in 1907 and expanded it from 85 to 253 cells, with a capacity of over 2,000. Covering more than 26,000 square meters, the prison is surrounded by red brick walls four meters high and 725 meters long. The invaders also occupied vast areas outside the prison where they built residences, bringing the total area to over 226,000 square meters.

An office building stands in front of the prison area, and through the central gate, to the left, right and in the middle, are prison houses. A lookout tower was built at the point where the houses converge, enabling guards to monitor the area in three directions simultaneously; Iron bars were also used to divide the floors for optimal monitoring capability. Four dark underground cells were built especially for revolutionists.

In addition to the many forms of torture committed within the prison walls, it also served as a hard-labor camp. Over 15 factories were erected there, including machine building, printing, iron-casting, woodcutting and textile-weaving factories. Prisoners were forced to produce munitions and commodities for the invaders. The gallows--a single, two-storied building--were constructed in the southeast corner of the prison area. Incomplete statistics indicate that about 700 communists and revolutionists were hanged on the second floor between 1942 and 1945. The exact number of people murdered during the seven-year Russian rule and 40 years of the Japanese occupation is unknown.
