In Suzhou Nanyuan Hotel, there is a "Lixi Pavilion", once the former residence of Jiang Weiguo, also known as "Jiang Mansion". The main building is a small blue brick building on the third floor and three open rooms. It is a building with a mysterious atmosphere. It is surrounded by rockery, lotus ponds, and many fruit trees and various flowers are planted. The lobby on the first floor is spacious and bright, the furnishings are retro and luxurious, and the lighting is also popular in the style of the Republic of China, fireplace, oil painting, elegant style.

    When this building came for many years, it had not erected the stone monument of Jiang Weiguo's former residence. This time I stayed at Suzhou Nanyuan Hotel again. I didn't expect the room booked to be still in Nanzhilou. Now guests need to swipe their cards to enter. If they live in other buildings of the hotel, they can only make an appointment at the front desk. Every day, there are staff to lead a tour guide and visit several major attractions in the hotel, including this Nanzhi Building. It can be seen that it has been renovated and is much more beautiful, but the old house and facilities will always be a bit flawed and insufficient. After a little turn over the history, the original 1928 National Revolutionary Army Northern Expedition victory, in November Suzhou was built, the first mayor was Lu Quan, a third-phase graduate of Baoding Military Academy. The next year, Chang Kaishen built a private house here, and the second wife Yao Yecheng carried Jiang Weiguo to live in this building. At that time, Jiang Weiguo was only 13 or 4 years old, and Ms. Yao set up a Buddhist hall in the Shanqing Zen Temple opposite. So Jiang Weiguo spent his carefree teenage years in this building and garden. The halls on the first and second floors are displayed with many old photos. Chang Kaishen's father and son photos are particularly conspicuous, and other decorations are a combination of Chinese and Western, which makes people look a bit inexplicable. There seem to be not many guests living in this building. It is said that it has been used as a state guesthouse before. Liu Shaoqi and Margaret Thatcher and other politicians have lived in this building. Of course, it is not cheap to stay for one night now. On the downstairs side there is the entrance to the Linyi May 7th 1st Engineering Site, which is completely another style.

    To be honest, I don’t know where this swanky house is.

    This is mainly a special historical relationship. First, it is the former residence of Jiang Weiguo, and second, the site of the "May 7th Project". The building itself is quite large, surrounded by ancient trees and rockery gardens. It looks very quiet.

    It was Jiang's residence, and now it is a guest house in Nanyuan Hotel. Although the historic building has a unique style, I would rather live in the newly built main building. Walked here at night, wanted to visit, there was no one at the front desk, hesitantly walked in, the whole hall was empty and scary. It is said that the furnishings in the house are restored according to the memories of the Jiang family. The impression is that there is a stone chessboard coffee table table. It is said that the owner of the house often plays here. I hurriedly watched it from the upstairs and left. There is a garage next to it, parked Lin Yu's red flag car, which used to be Lin Yu's residence in Suzhou, and it is said that there is a tunnel in the building, because it is not open, it is unknown where to lead. When I left, I met the waiter and mentioned that there was no one at the front desk. He comforted us that the building was very safe and there were monitoring everywhere. In fact, the hotel is well managed and I believe it is safe in my heart, but I don't know why there is always a mysterious sense of unease.
