A Russian Orthodox church in Hankou built in the 1880s with funds of Russian tea merchants; according to Wikipedia it was erected in 1880–1882, and in 1885 it was consecrated by Hieromonk Nicholas (Adoratsky) of the Beijing Ecclesiastical Mission. The church was closed in 1958, and on 27 May 1998 the building was entered in the city's register of protected monuments. In 2013, when the site fell within the construction zone of a tunnel under the Yangtze, the Chinese side decided to preserve and restore the building; on 6 August 2015 a House of Russian–Chinese Cultural Exchanges opened in it.
