Former Residence of Zhou Enlai in Shanghai

Former Residence of Zhou Enlai in Shanghai, Former Chinese premier residence in French Concession, Shanghai, China

This Spanish-style residence on Sinan Road stands four floors tall with spaces for receptions, offices, and living quarters. A garden featuring a fountain provides a private retreat adjacent to the working areas.

Built in the 1920s as part of the Yipin Village housing developed by the Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient, the house at 107 Route Massenet was confiscated after the war and rented in spring 1946 in Zhou Enlai's name as the CCP delegation's Shanghai office, publicly called General Zhou Enlai's residence. It also housed the CCP Shanghai Working Committee. On 28 February 1947 the Songhu Garrison Command ordered the delegation out; on 19 March the property passed to the China Democratic League, whose headquarters it became until the League was outlawed on 27 October 1947.

The name Zhougongguan, "Zhou's residence", was a cover: the house was the Shanghai office of the Communist Party delegation and also housed the Shanghai Working Committee. On the second floor, the south room with its balcony was the reception room, while the east room served as Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao's office and bedroom. The fourth floor held Dong Biwu's family quarters and a dormitory for couriers and staff awaiting evacuation.

Photography is not permitted indoors, so visitors should plan to observe and take notes instead. The location is accessible during regular hours, and guests should allow time to explore both the interior rooms and the garden area comfortably.

The delegation added a garage beside the ground floor and turned its roof into the entrance platform for the second floor. In 1998 a 3.5-metre bronze statue of Zhou Enlai, cast by the Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute and weighing 1.8 tonnes, was placed in the courtyard of No. 71 next door.
