Yingkou customs is one of the earliest customs in Northeast China. After the first Opium War "Nanjing Treaty" opened five ports for trade, the second Opium War in 1856 forced the Qing government to sign the "Tianjin treaty" to open nine ports such as Niuzhuang (later changed to Yingkou) and Dengzhou (later changed to Yantai) as trading ports, so Yingkou became a port for foreign powers to plunder the wealth of Northeast China.

Brief introduction of Niuzhuang customs site

The former site of Yingkou customs is divided into two parts, one is called "Shanhai new customs" and the other is called "East customs" at the present international hotel. At that time, the customs mainly managed ships and foreign ships, and taxed the goods they exported and imported. According to the records of Yingkou county annals, the customs building was built by man Shande, an Englishman of the former tax department. In 1914, man Shande selected the address and organized the design and construction. Building materials are imported from England. Construction 8 years, completed in 1922, the building area of about 500 square meters, two-story western red brick structure.

In 1923, Niuzhuang customs moved to Shanhaiguan new site, full name "Shanhaiguan Department of Taxation", controlled by the British. After the September 18th Incident in 1931, Japan occupied the northeast, occupied Shanhaiguan and renamed it "Yingkou tax pass". The Japanese invaders plundered a lot of wealth from Yingkou port in the past 14 years. According to the archives, the amount of beans exported to Japan through Yingkou Port was as high as 36365 tons a year. In only half a year, the plundered tariff income converted into 1.5 million taels of silver.

In August 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered. A year later, the Kuomintang government took over Yingkou customs in August 1946, initially known as "Shanhaiguan", and then "Yingkou customs" in 1947. After the liberation of Yingkou in 1948, "Liaoning provincial customs" was established, and later renamed "Yingkou customs bureau" and "Yingkou customs". It was abolished in 1952. The customs address was the office address of the municipal government, and then expanded to Liaohe hotel. Now it is Yingkou international hotel. In 1988, the former site of "shanhaixinguan" of Yingkou Customs was announced by Liaoning Provincial People's government as a provincial cultural relic protection unit, named "Niuzhuang customs site".

Another former site of Yingkou customs is called "Shanhai banknote pass", which is located at No. 40 xidamiaoli, Xishi District, Yingkou City, commonly known as "West customs". At that time, the Customs was responsible for the management of Chinese ships and the taxation of goods carried in and out of these ships. In 1910, it was built by American ello. Xihaiguan site is also a two-story building, with a construction area of 400 square meters. Western pattern is carved on the grating top of the building, with unique architectural style. It is now a residential building.
