Harbin opened since 1905 as the International Commercial Ports, the Kazakh national businessmen have to invest a time shops have opened. Of which at shopping centres are now unknown, it is Moscow shopping malls, Ji Jin Heilongjiang Provincial Museum.
Heilongjiang Provincial Museum, formerly Moscow shopping malls, was founded in 1906, Harbin is one of the earliest shopping malls. In a full 90 years ago, following the Nangang the central square of the Church of St. Nicholas, in the west side of the square to build a second building - Moscow shopping malls. Will be shopping centres and sacred built adjacent to the cathedral, seems to be done for the mass return of people to provide a leisure shopping, collect material and spiritual needs in one. As Qiu-lin firms (built in 1904 was founded in 1908), Qiu-lin Zhongshan shopping malls and other companies have built the firm, Nangang District, the central square around a real atmosphere of the rich cultural, and commercial center. Moscow shopping malls and the great and important because of the location, elegant image of a square of the important interface. Moscow shopping malls stretch like a Yellow-and color Piaodai, carefully modified in the square skirt Ju. Whenever the sun shining on the back of the building, the square is a lively cast the shadow - pointed dome, Cuoluoyouzhi the contour line, just like fantasy castle in the reflection of the Plaza, adding a romantic atmosphere.
As building is located in the west corner of the square, today left for the Manzhouli Street, this is the right of the Red Army Street, to consider Liang Tiaojie effect on the landscape, thus building the plane layout and elevation treatment have been carefully designed. Building plane was broken line symmetrical composition by the three criteria, and a body linking the two, left and right wings temporary Manzhouli Street, part of each of the five Red Army Street hall; Square in central part of the Council for the two pairs hall, a hall of single - Three modules; two each corner of a corner connection, thus the building from which a 15-bay interesting is that the layout of the building looks more like a commercial street of shops group, rather than a whole The integrated shopping malls. The reason is that this construction of 15 units separate entrances and staircases have their own separate, as if the standard of hotel construction in general, self-behind closed doors. No connection between the various units, from one unit to another unit can only enter from the entrance respectively, mutual non-interference, fragmentation. It is hard to say whether such a rational layout, the advantage is that example to spread independently operated, but there are also obvious disadvantages. 2002 then built Qiu-lin firm, with its flat layout completely different, the latter as a comprehensive shopping malls, modern shopping malls of the Chulu clues. Moscow shopping malls completed when all the functions of different units, a cloth shop, ceramic products stores, such as Cable and Wireless. Up to June 1923, the East Province Heritage Museum occupation of the subsidiary will study Moscow shopping malls as part of the exhibition hall; October 1923, the Middle East in the general education schools, shopping centres set up in Moscow (now the third secondary school in Harbin City predecessor), the new 1924 Completed soon quit school after the liberation of Moscow shopping malls as the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum in use now, after 90 set, the old shopping malls become the museum today, despite the use of different features already, but the building still has charisma.
