Tianjin also has a former residence of Zhang Xueliang.

⛰[Attraction Guide] I visited the Zhang Shuaifu, the former residence of Marshal Zhang Zuolin, in Shenyang. Zhang Xueliang, who later succeeded him as the Young Marshal, also lived there. In Tianjin's Heping District, at No. 78 Chifeng Road, stands a three-story, grayish-beige Western-style building, primarily in the Baroque style. Covering an area of 1,003.64 square meters, with a building area of 1,418 square meters, it is also known as the Young Marshal's Mansion. Now, it's a key cultural relic protection site in Tianjin—the Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang. 🚗Transportation: Take Subway Line 3, get off at Heping Road Station, Exit D, and walk 450 meters. 🕙Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. 💰Ticket Price: Official tickets: Adult ticket 80 yuan, student ticket 60 yuan. I personally feel the ticket price is a bit expensive. However, I happened to have a Tianjin cultural tourism coupon, so I spent 93 yuan for one adult and one child, which is reasonable. 🌟Highlights: This small Western-style building was built in 1921. In 1924, Zhang Xueliang purchased it from the French Consulate in the name of Zhang Shouyi (Zhang Zuolin's fifth wife). After 1949, Zhang Shouyi went to Hong Kong, and her son, Zhang Xuequan, managed and rented it out. 📌Tips: 1. Free guided tours are available at the service desk on the first floor several times a day. The tour guides explain things in a vivid and humorous way, almost like a crosstalk performance. 2. The most eye-catching item in the first-floor living room is Miss Zhao Si's beloved piano. It is said that all the keys of this piano are made of ivory. According to the tour guide, Lang Lang visited a few years ago and wanted to play this piano, but unfortunately, it had been in disrepair for many years, and its tone was completely distorted. 3. Notably, the second-floor flooring is the original, with the original paint, just as it was when Zhang Xueliang lived there. The floors on the first and third floors were later replaced. 4. The warmer on the bed in the second-floor bedroom is similar to a modern hot water bottle, used to warm the bed in winter. 5. A century-old refrigerator is preserved in the meeting room. It has two layers, with ice placed below the food to keep it cool. 6. The backs of the chairs in the meeting room are particularly high. It is said that when Zhang Xueliang held meetings with military and political officials, they had to wear hats and sit randomly each time to prevent accidents. 7. Next to Zhang Xueliang's former residence, the residential buildings have been transformed into a Republican-era style. Many people dress in period costumes and take artistic photos there. It's also a location for murder mystery games, with many live-action NPCs. If you have the chance, I recommend checking out the police station; the NPCs are very into their roles, haha.
