The Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling was originally one of the four great princely gardens of the Qing Dynasty. Its traditional architectural features and garden attractions include Xie Pavilion (萐亭), Tingyu House (听雨屋), Changjin Studio (畅襟斋), the South Building (南楼), Enbo Pavilion (恩波亭), and covered corridors. Together, they form a tranquil and elegant garden. To the west of the traditional buildings stands the main residence, a two-story building combining Chinese and Western architectural styles, which was built at a later date and served as Soong Ching Ling's home.
