A must-visit spot in Chongqing - Gengu Mansion 1936!

This is the Liziba Heritage Park I'm familiar with, yet here stands a mansion unknown to most. Hidden in lush greenery, you'd hardly encounter it unless you specifically seek it out. Stepping through its doors, you're immediately embraced by the weight of history. The grand vintage chandelier, intricate marble floors, wooden furniture, and leather sofas - everything in this mansion, even the seemingly frozen air, appears suspended in time from that day in 1936. In 1936, General Li Gengu, a renowned anti-Japanese war commander, moved into this building. Thus began the extraordinary history of Gengu Mansion. Today, the mansion serves as a café and lounge bar offering diverse dining options! In such surroundings, finding tranquility amidst the bustle becomes a delightful experience. The mansion entrance offers complimentary mineral water and traditional Chongqing tea. Passersby often hesitate before pushing open these grand doors - the word "mansion" itself commands respect and distance. Only upon entering does one realize: this place is no different from the outside world. Here lies the 1930s that every Chongqing resident can revisit. Name: Gengu Mansion 1936 Address: Inside Liziba Anti-Japanese War Heritage Park, No. 66-8 Liziba Zheng Street (Near Shangqing Temple and Hualongqiao)
