Controversy over McDonald's and Starbucks moving into Chiang Ching-kuo’s former residence in Hangzhou
By / MOOK Scenic Spots Family Travel Life Network Editorial Team, compiled and reported
The former residence of the late President Chiang Ching-kuo in Hangzhou’s West Lake, China, was once a tightly sealed old house, but this year it has seen the sequential opening of fast-food chain McDonald’s and American coffeehouse chain Starbucks on its premises, separating the originally connected main and auxiliary buildings, making visitors take a detour to view the houses. This move to revitalize or commercialize the celebrity’s former home has sparked heated online discussions in China.

Many tourists have voiced their opinions on this matter, but the vast majority of Hangzhou residents expressed disagreement, believing that such a move not only looks inappropriate but may also damage historical relics, compromising their original charm. Of course, some visitors think that enjoying coffee while taking in the sights of the former residence is also a nice experience.
