Located in an old-fashioned building with a stone-framed door, built in 1925, the provisional government of the Republic of Korea finally settled down here after the March First Movement and several times relocation. King Jiu was then the head of the state council (equivalent to president). In 1932, some members of the provisional government were persecuted and arrested by the Japanese military and police, the provisional government was forced to evacuate from Shanghai. This place is the best preserved 'former site' where the provisional government of the Republic of Korea spent the longest time for work. It was opened to the public in 1993. It is called the 'Shrine of the Korean National Independence Movement.'
