A Century-Old Building—The First Premier of the Republic of China Open to the Public for Free

Every brick and tile embodies the essence of Shanghai-style culture. Every street and alley flows with the feast of Shanghai’s charm. 🏛️ Exhibition Hall Introduction: This is the former residence of Tang Shaoyi, the first Premier of the Republic of China, built in 1908. Designed by Taichang Trading Company, he lived here for 18 years and met important historical figures such as Sun Yat-sen and Liang Qichao. In that turbulent era, he was assassinated on Wukang Road. 📝 Check-in Guide: The Tang residence consists of two buildings, east and west, featuring the British Queen Anne Revival style with colonial-style verandas. It is a three-story brick and wood structure with a red tile sloping roof. The restoration team repaired the decorative facade with alternating blue and red bricks characteristic of Shanghai style, referenced classic elements from the Peace Hotel, and restored the copper pointed weather vane, adding the finishing touch to this century-old building. It’s perfect for photo souvenirs. Limited edition postcards are available, and you can get them stamped on-site. Don’t miss it if you love collecting stamps! ⭐ Visiting Guide: Currently, only the first floor is open; the second floor requires proof of assets worth 30 million. It is now a real estate sales office. Later, it will be opened as a Shanghai-style reception hall for the public, hosting cultural heritage forums, art exhibitions, and other events. Looking forward to it 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️ 🕙 Opening Hours: Until June 22, 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM 💰 Admission: Free 🚗 Transportation: 900 meters walk from Baoshan Road Station on Metro Lines 3/4 or Sichuan North Road Station on Line 10 📝 Tips: Please keep quiet and respectful. This is not only an exhibition hall but also a living piece of history.
