Introduction Zhangyuan was originally the private residence and garden of Zhang Biao, who 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 Romanesque brick-and-wood structure building. In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen stayed here briefly during his northward journey through Tianjin. Jingyuan was originally called "Qianyuan." Qianyuan was built in 1921 by Lu Zongyu as an East-West hybrid courtyard-style residence. In late 1924, the last emperor Puyi fled to Tianjin, initially residing in "Zhangyuan" before moving to "Qianyuan," which he renamed Jingyuan. Jingyuan is located at No. 70 Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin.
