One of China’s more beautifully made prisons is known as the Qincheng Prison. Don’t let the green trees surrounding the exterior or the beautifully crafted structures fool you, although it is a beautiful piece of art, this prison is also known as a maximum security prison. It was built back in 1958 and was originally built to house Kuomintang war criminals. You can see the traditional Chinese architecture throughout the building in its richest form. While again, the surrounding atmosphere may seem nice and pleasant, only those that have committed crimes such as government related issues will be housed here.
