Jingyuan Garden

Jingyuan, established in 1921, is located at No. 70 Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin (formerly Miyajima Street in the Japanese Concession). Originally named Qianyuan, it was the private residence of Lu Zongyu, the Beiyang Government's envoy to Japan. From 1929 to 1931, the last emperor Puyi lived here with Empress Wanrong and Consort Wenxiu, renaming it 'Jingyuan', which means to observe the situation quietly and wait for the opportunity. Just like its name, Jingyuan is situated in a quiet ordinary alley, with a unique style, and is one of the more distinctive among the many small western-style buildings in Tianjin.

Jingyuan Garden, established in 1921, was originally named Qian Garden and served as the residence of Lu Zongyu, the envoy of the Beiyang Government to Japan. From July 1929 to November 1931, Puyi lived here with Empress Wanrong and Consort Wenxiu, renaming it 'Jingyuan', meaning 'tranquility to nurture my vast spirit'. The garden features a brick-and-wood structure that blends Spanish and Japanese styles, representing a typical private residence of the Tianjin Concession era. Today, I feel it also embodies the 'tranquility within noise'. The entire street is lively without being noisy, and the flow of people is not as dense as in places like the Five Avenues, allowing for a comfortable stroll through the entire scenic area without crowding. The lawn and shaded chairs in front of the fountain in the courtyard, due to the leisurely presence of resting visitors, give off a high-end vibe reminiscent of a golf course from afar. The small western-style building is also exquisite and stylish, instantly transporting one to the life of a Republican-era noble. 📍Location: No. 70, Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin 🚇Transportation: Metro Line 1, Anshan Road Station, Exit A 🎫Ticket: 20 RMB ⏰Opening hours: 9:00-17:30 Scenic Area Layout 1️⃣ Puyi Exhibition Hall Originally a waiting area for those seeking an audience with Puyi, it now displays photographs and has a screening room that plays a loop, lasting about ten minutes, providing a brief introduction to the history of Puyi and Jingyuan before touring. 2️⃣ Main Building Three stories high, combining features of Japanese wooden architecture with Spanish architectural style.

Jingyuan was built in 1921, originally named Qianyuan, and was the private residence of Lu Zongyu. From 1929 to 1931, Puyi, the last emperor, moved here, taking the meaning of 'watching changes quietly' and 'waiting for the right moment', renamed it Jingyuan, and from here he fled to Dalian and ascended the throne of the 'pseudo-Manchukuo'.
