Zhang Zuolin’s Villa: A Blend of Eastern and Western Architectural Styles in Xingcheng

Zhang Zuolin’s Villa is located in the core area of the North Campus of Xingcheng Railway Sanatorium, integrating the layout of the East and the charm of Western Europe into a small architectural complex, which is exquisite and refined. This villa, which began construction in the 1920s, has a total construction area of over 2000 square meters and covers an area of more than 5000 square meters. It is a small architectural complex facing south and backing north, built around a large hot spring.


It features a three-tiered courtyard with a porch, a front hall, and a back hall. Zhang Zuolin, being preoccupied with warfare, never stayed in this villa; only on the day of the villa’s groundbreaking did his fifth concubine come to Xingcheng and take a tour around the villa. After the villa was completed, General Zhang Xueliang once came here with Zhao Yidi to rest and personally planted two tiger-skin pines on both sides of the villa, one of which still exists today.


Opening hours are from 8:30 to 16:30 all year round. Preferential policies include free admission for children under 1 meter in height and half-price admission for seniors aged 60 and above with a senior citizen’s card or ID card.
