About Quanyechang Department Store

Quanyechang is a department store at the corner of Heping Road and Binjiang Dao, opened in December 1928 in the former French concession to a design by the French architect Paul Muller. The eclectic building has a corner tower, a galleried atrium and a rooftop entertainment garden, and the Tianjin Daily calls it the only department store in China on the national heritage list. Its restoration began in October 2024, and in August 2026 the Tianjin Daily reported that the building was expected to reopen before the end of the year.
