Zhang Garden, a humble name, was built by late Qing Dynasty Admiral Zhang Biao as a private residence.
Sun Yat-sen visited here, Puyi lived here, it was occupied by the Japanese, served as the Kuomintang Tianjin Garrison Headquarters, and was once home to the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Over the past century, Tianjin has held half the history of the Republic of China. This small, unassuming Western-style building truly carries so much.
A National Key Cultural Relic Protection Site, it is now open to the public for exhibition. Quietly strolling through the corridors and witnessing history, one realizes that life, if it lasted a century, would be truly wonderful.
