Ancestral House of Zhang Ailing

You can drink a cafe, you can take a book, quietly feel the road Zhang Ailing once walked, the house and the surroundings are similar, it looks special. Awesome. Ha ha ha.

An old bungalow at 85 Kangding East Road, south bank of Suzhou Henan, is said to be the dark white mansion in "Love of the City" is also based on it, and is now the cultural activity center of Shimen 2nd Road community. The main entrance is really inconspicuous, and I can't see that there is such a beautiful old bungalow hidden inside.

Zhang Ailing has several former residences in Shanghai, Kangding East Road, which is her birthplace, or father's home, where she lived for nearly ten years. Due to her parents' divorce, she fled to her mother (Wuding Road) in 1935, and in 1939, Zhang Ailing moved with her mother and aunt to the now more popular Eddington Apartment (now Changde Apartment). In 2009, Zhang Ailing's former residence was transformed into Shimen 2nd Road Community Culture Activity Center. Standing on Kangding East Road, the facade can't see the traces of the old bungalow. After entering the community center, passing through the library and Zhang Ailing Bookstore, he found himself in the old bungalow. Walking out to carefully look, this four-story white water red brick old house, built in the late Qing Dynasty and early Minzhu, is Zhang Ailing's great-grandfather Li Hongzhang's daughter's accompaniment. The south facade of the building has continuous coupon windows and large cement steps, rainpengs, terraces, etc.

Zhang Ailing lived in a few places in Shanghai.

it’s worth the visit😊 artistic and relaxing.
