Munan Road starts from Machang Road in the east and extends to Xikang Road in the west, with a total length of 2.08 kilometers. Among the Five Great Avenues, it is second in scale only to Machang Road. The road is lined with lush trees that frame a variety of uniquely styled small Western-style buildings. Strolling along it gives visitors a sense that the spatial proportions of the road, houses, and trees are just right. Since the early 20th century, Tianjin had numerous foreign concessions, where foreigners carried out large-scale construction in architectural styles from their home countries, leaving behind a diverse array of buildings. Some foreigners, former Qing dynasty officials and nobles, warlord compradors, and ousted politicians came here to purchase property. Along this 2-kilometer stretch, there are 74 listed historical buildings, 22 former residences of notable figures, and 4 municipal-level cultural heritage sites.
