| Former Residences of Great Figures Who Shaped History. Not far from the Wukang Mansion, there is another well-known residence, the Soong Ching-ling Memorial Residence in Shanghai. The Soong Ching-ling Memorial Residence in Shanghai is located at 1843 Huaihai Middle Road. Built in 1920, it is a European-style building with red tiles and white walls. After Soong Ching-ling's death in the 1980s, the former residence was converted into a memorial hall and opened to the public. The Soong Ching-ling Memorial Residence in Shanghai is divided into three parts⚠️ ✅Soong Ching-ling Cultural Relic Museum ✅Main Building of Soong Ching-ling's Former Residence ✅Garden 📍Soong Ching-ling Cultural Relic Museum This is the first visiting point at the entrance of the memorial hall.

The first floor consists of a hallway, living room, dining room, and two studies on the east and west sides. The second floor houses Soong Ching-ling's bedroom, office, etc. The third floor is presumably an attic and is not open to the public. ⚠️Photography is prohibited inside the main building, so the interior furnishings leave a sense of mystery for those outside. 📍Garden In front of the main building is the third major highlight of the memorial hall—the garden.

Many shops there are closed. It is not recommended to go there specifically 11. Don't live in the old houses near the Bund. The rooms look okay, but the hygiene is not very good , and the space is small and the sound insulation is not good 12.

Yu Garden is divided into the garden and the shopping mall snack street. The garden closes at 5 pm. The shopping mall is beautiful when the lights are on at night, but it is not recommended to buy things there. The things are a bit expensive 14. It is not recommended to go to Madame Tussauds specifically. The ticket price is very expensive and the cost performance is not very high. There is no need to go to Thames Town specifically. It is very far away! ! Most of them are taking wedding photos 15. Don’t take a taxi when leaving Hongqiao Railway Station. The line is so long that you doubt your life. You can call an express train or a special car as soon as you get off the train. The location is at P9 or P10 parking lot 16. You don’t need to join a group when traveling in Shanghai. Joining a group is more troublesome. Just make your own strategy and city walk. #Shanghai #Shanghai Travel Guide

At 2 pm, I was lucky enough to be the last ticket holder of the day. Thinking back to how Ms. Song realized her dreams for the country and the people with her gentle and tenacious strength in those turbulent times, the atmosphere exuded by the peace doves, the red flag car, the hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, and Sun Yat-sen's manuscripts, these historical relics are truly touching. What makes me even more curious is why Ms. Song finally chose to settle in Shanghai. Have you ever thought about this question? #Song Qingling
