Kong’s Mansion, the official residence of H.H. Kung, is nestled beside HuXiao Spring in NanWenQuan. Constructed in 1939, this architectural gem is a harmonious blend of Chinese and Western styles. The mansion is a complex of buildings that include pavilions, terraces, corridors, and chambers, with a total of 22 rooms.
Upon entering, the left hall was once the Kong family’s ballroom, a space for grand events and gatherings. The right room, on the other hand, serves as a treasure trove of the family’s history, housing original Kong family utensils and珍贵的 Song sisters’ photographs.
Tucked away to the right rear of the main building, you’ll find an air-raid shelter, a testament to the times. This 150-meter long shelter features 6 rooms and 3 exits, designed for the safety of the Kong family during Japanese aerial bombardments.
Venturing further, a mountain road to the left of the mansion leads you to the former residence of Kong’s second daughter, Kong Lingyi. As for visiting, please note that the opening hours are subject to the actual operating status on the day.
