A historic stroll
The subdistrict contains nearly 40 cultural and historical heritage sites, making it ideal for a historic stroll.
The area is peppered with historical buildings of various styles, such as garden villas and red-brick townhouses, particularly Pacific Garden, which was built in the early 1920s and was once used by its developer, then-Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, to house Jewish refugees for free.
Another relic of that era is the Ohel Rachel Synagogue.
The Communist Party of China’s footprints are also visible, such as the former residence of Nie Er, who composed China’s national anthem, and the former site of the CPC Secretariat.
These locations have been meticulously preserved.
Local residents have played an important role in preserving local cultural and historical memories through a variety of activities, such as creating a cultural map of some of the area’s historic sites.
Protected buildings, former celebrity residences and factory sites were chosen by local residents for their treasured memories and legendary stories. Along with the map, there are paintings of the locations, all of which were created by residents.
