Songqingling Former Residence
46 Hou Hai Bei Yan, 46, Xi Cheng Qu, Bei Jing Shi, 100035
Qing-era princely garden of winding waterways and rockeries, later home and office of a revolutionary widow.
This guide to the Song Qingling Former Residence in Beijing follows a walled garden on Houhai from Prince Chun, regent for his son the last emperor Puyi, to 1963, when Premier Zhou Enlai suggested that Song Qingling, widow of the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, move in. A Greek sea captain had earlier added a two-story house to the grounds, and a Soviet-made limousine, a personal gift from Stalin, still sits parked near the winding waterway and rockery outside her old rooms.
