The Former Residence of Puyi in Tianjin is a cultural tourism attraction.

Introduction: Zhangyuan was originally the private residence and garden of Zhang Biao, who served as the Viceroy of Hubei in the late Qing Dynasty and Commander of the Eighth Town stationed in Wuchang. Zhang Biao was from Yuci, Shanxi, and a successful candidate in the martial arts examination of the Qing Dynasty. Zhangyuan is located at No. 59 Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin. The original Zhangyuan was demolished and rebuilt by the Japanese invaders after 1935, resulting in the current two-story brick-and-wood Romanesque structure. In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen stayed here briefly during his northward journey. Jingyuan was originally named "Qianyuan." Qianyuan was built in 1921 by Lu Zongyu and is an East-West hybrid courtyard-style residence. In late 1924, the last emperor Puyi fled to Tianjin, initially staying at "Zhangyuan" before moving to "Qianyuan," which was then renamed Jingyuan. Jingyuan is located at No. 70 Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin.
