Description

Less touristy than other former residences of Shanghai's historical figures, politician Zhou En Lais house gives a serious revolutionary impression. Though the house and its beautiful garden display the Western influence in Shanghai in the early 1900s, the spartan interior shows true commitment to the people's cause. In the next house—behind the guards' room and the garage—is a photo exhibition. Chinese texts give explanations about the Shanghai office of the Communist Party, which was located here. There is a bookstore, but it is usually closed.
