According to Sohu. Com and Guan fengwen. No.8 Taiji Long Street, a former Beijing International Club, was founded in 1950s. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing Dongjiaomin Lane (then called "Dongjiaomi Lane") was designated as a foreign embassy district. The general scope is from the present Tiananmen Square in the west to the Ministry of Public Security, to the present Chongwenmen Inner Street, Tongren Hospital, Dongdan Park and Dongdan Stadium in the east, to the present East Chang 'an Avenue in the north, and to the fence between Zhengyangmen and Chongwenmen Tower in the south. A "World Club" has been established in the embassy district in order to provide a place for diplomats of embassies of various countries to exchange and entertain. The address is not at No.8, Taiji Long Street now, just a little south. After the "Xin Chou Treaty", the clubhouse in the embassy district was newly built at No.8, Taiji Long Street. This courtyard and building is designed as a club, designed by German architect Cuet Rothkegel and completed in 19 12. Its name is "International Club". So, nothing personal.
No.8 Taiji Long Street, as a club, naturally continued to provide entertainment and leisure services for the staff of foreign embassies in China after liberation, and its name was named Beijing International Club.
