What to expect
- The Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang is a typical "French Neoclassical" architectural style, while incorporating traditional Chinese elements, forming a unique "combination of Chinese and Western" feature. The entire building covers an area of approximately 1,400 square meters, with three floors, plus a basement and attic. From the exterior to the internal details, it shows the exquisite Western-style architecture and the cultural heritage of the Republic of China.
- Looking from Chifeng Road, the appearance of Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence is highly recognizable: the red clear brick wall is matched with white stone decoration, the roof is a red sloping roof, covered with French-style ceramic tiles, and the chimney shape is exquisite and the lines are smooth. The front of the building adopts a symmetrical layout, with a wide porch in the center, with two Roman columns standing on both sides of the porch, and delicate patterns are carved on the columns, which are both solemn and flexible.
- It is worth mentioning that the red bricks on the exterior walls of the building are not ordinary bricks, but "machine-made red bricks" imported from the UK at that time. This kind of brick is hard in texture and uniform in color. It still maintains a bright red color after a hundred years of wind and rain, and has become a landmark element of the appearance of the former residence. Today, the combination of red brick walls and white decorations is particularly eye-catching in the old blocks of Tianjin, and has become a popular background for tourists to take photos and check in.
- Today's Zhang Xueliang's Former Residence has long surpassed the single attribute of "historical building" and has become a comprehensive cultural tourism attraction integrating historical exhibitions, cultural experiences, and online celebrity check-in, injecting new vitality into Tianjin's tourism industry.
