Former Residence of Ronglu

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

A district-level cultural heritage site. Located in the south of Jiaodaokou, Dongcheng District. The residence faces south and is divided into three parts: a Western-style building in the west, a garden in the middle, and living quarters in the east. It consists of five courtyards, including a reverse-facing wing, a hallway, the main house, and two ancestral halls. Three rooms of the reverse-facing wing and three rooms of the hallway remain, both with flush-gable gray tubular tile roofs. The main house has three rooms, each flanked by a side room, with a three-tiered terrace in front. The roof features gray tubular tiles with flush gables and hip-and-gable ridges, and the corridor is adorned with brackets. The east and west wing rooms each have three rooms with the same roof style as the main house, also featuring corridors and brackets. Doors, windows, and the interior decoration of the main house still retain Qing Dynasty-style designs. The main houses in the fourth and fifth courtyards each have five rooms, with gray tubular tile flush-gable hip-and-gable ridge roofs, and three-room吞corridors (likely "swallowtail corridors") with brackets. The last two ancestral halls are separated from the front courtyard and have their entrance on Shoubi Hutong, at No. 6. The original central garden area of the residence has been completely demolished and replaced with dormitory buildings. Part of the western section has been modified, with a large building to the south and a Western-style pointed two-story building behind it, built in the late Qing Dynasty. This residence was originally the home of Ronglu’s father. Later, Ronglu moved from here to Dongchang Hutong. After Ronglu relocated, the ancestral home in Ju’er Hutong was sold to others, eventually being divided into multiple separate residences.
