Located at 73 Sinan Road, this three-story garden house with French architectural style is the former site of the Chinese Communist Party delegation office in Shanghai. Upon entering, you can see a wisteria trellis, which looks very quiet and comfortable. Every late summer and early autumn, Zhou Enlai liked to walk around the grass, sit on a wicker chair, have cordial conversations with the staff, and discuss work arrangements. There is a large pine tree planted among the grass, with lush branches and leaves.
Located at No. 87 Sinan Road, this house is a four-story Spanish-style garden villa. The roof adopts the Mansard style, which means the roof slope has two sections: the top is gentle and the section near the eaves is steeper. The central part can open wide windows, making it feel very bright. In front of the building, there is a fairly large garden where Mei Lanfang often walked, practiced his vocal exercises, and ran. The highest floor of the building was occupied by Mei Lanfang's mother-in-law and daughter, the third floor by Mei and his wife, the second floor was the son's bedroom, and the ground floor housed the servants and the car. While living on Sinan Road, Mei Lanfang rehearsed plays such as 'Jin Bing' and 'Sheng Si Hen'.
