Jingyuan, located at No. 70 Anshan Road, Heping District, Tianjin, was built in 1921, covers an area of about 3,016 square meters, and has a construction area of about 1,900 square meters. It is a historical building with special protection level in Tianjin and a cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin. Jingyuan was originally named Qianyuan, and was the residence of Lu Zongyu, the minister of the Beiyang government to Japan. From July 1929 to November 1931, the last emperor Puyi lived here with his empress Wanrong and concubine Wenxiu, and it was renamed "Jingyuan", which means "to be quiet to nourish my noble spirit". There is an eclectic brick-and-wood structure building in the garden, which integrates Spanish and Japanese styles. It is lush and quiet, and is a typical representative of the courtyard-style private residence during the Tianjin Concession period. After Puyi moved out, Jingyuan changed hands several times and went through changes. It was used as an office and a residence. 600 square meters of illegal buildings were built in the courtyard and the building. Before the renovation, it had become a veritable compound. On July 20, 2007, the restored Jingyuan was opened to the public as a national AAA-level tourist attraction, and has won the titles of "China Tourism Brand Charming Scenic Spot", Tianjin Patriotism Education Base, National Science Education Base and National Youth Civilized Unit. A house collects the details of several generations of owners, including senior officials of the Beiyang government, the last emperor and empress of the late Qing Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Garrison of the Kuomintang, famous contemporary writers and artists, and many ordinary people who have never left their names. Walking into Jingyuan, it seems as if time and space are intertwined, the hustle and bustle of the city center is blocked by the high walls, and only the sound of birds is left as a long background. It is suitable for tourists who like history and architecture to take a quiet and slow tour.
