The Zongli Yamen (Chinese: 總理衙門), short for Office for the General Management of Affairs Concerning the Various Countries[1] (總理各國事務衙門), also known as Prime Minister's Office,[2] Office of General Management,[3] was the government body in charge of foreign policy in imperial China during the late Qing dynasty. It was established by Prince Gong on 11 March 1861[4] after the Convention of Beijing. It was abolished by the Qing government in 1901[5] and replaced with a Foreign Office of ministry rank.
The former site of the Zongli Yamen is now located in Dongtangzi Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing. Nearly all the buildings are preserved in good condition.
