Former Residence of Zhang Zizhong
Zhang Zizhong's Former Residence is a two-story Western-style building with a brick-wood structure (partially three-story). The upper and lower inner corridors are supported by columns in front of the building, and there are symmetrical convex polygonal rooms on both sides of the building. In 1936, Zhang Zizhong bought this vacant land in the name of "Qing'an Hall" and built this building. The facade of the house follows a modern minimalist style, using local materials from Tianjin, and the shape is simple and unpretentious. Zhang Zizhong was the highest-ranking Chinese general who died on the front line during the Anti-Japanese War, and was posthumously awarded the title of Army General. Zhou Enlai wrote a eulogy for Zhang Zizhong, saying: "His loyalty and heroic spirit can be regarded as the soul of Chinese soldiers in the Anti-Japanese War."

It was originally named "Baibu" and was built in the Tang Dynasty. In 1935, a teacher changed "bu" to "po", and thus Xibaipo was born. During the War of Liberation, Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee commanded the three major battles that shocked China and the world - the Huaihai Campaign, the Pingjin Campaign, and the Liaoshen Campaign, and held the famous Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee.
