Song Ziwen’s Mansion

At the top of Jilong Mountain, there is a building with the style of a western farmhouse. It is hidden in the green shade and is beautiful and peaceful. However, this is a house with great historical significance. It is the mansion of the famous Song Ziwen. The house was designed by the famous architect Yang Tingbao. The structure is extremely exquisite. It is built along the mountain, with undulating heights and a well-proportioned layout. The ground floor is made of rubble stones, and the upper floor is made of bricks and stones. The roof is made of imported white cement and yellow sand on reeds, which can insulate heat, keep warm, and is fireproof and waterproof, very practical. In addition to being both beautiful and scientific, this building is also the site of many major events. During the Xi’an Incident, Song’s mansion became a place for politicians to gather and discuss strategies. And the double-storey house on the northeast slope not far away was once the place where Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned. The specific business hours and opening status are subject to the opening situation on the day.
