Former residence of Kang Youwei, Historical residence in Danzao, China

The former residence of Kang Youwei, also called Yanxiang Old House, is a typical Pearl River Delta dwelling in Su Village, Danzao, Nanhai District, Foshan. The single building covers 81 m², was first built in the mid-Qing period, partly destroyed during the War of Resistance, and restored in 1983. A Kang Youwei Memorial Hall was added beside it in 1987.

The house was built in the mid-Qing period and is known as the Yanxiang Old House, where Kang Youwei was born and raised. Part of it was damaged during the War of Resistance against Japan and restored in 1983. In 1987 a memorial hall to Kang was built beside it, and in 1996 the residence was listed among the fourth batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level.

The house is also called Yanxiang Old House (延香老屋), the name locals use for the building where Kang Youwei was born and raised. The adjacent Kang Youwei Memorial Hall, added in 1987, presents his life and reformist ideas, so the visit pairs the 81 m² family home with a modern exhibition next door.

The residence is a single 81 m² building, so a visit takes well under an hour; the adjacent Kang Youwei Memorial Hall, added in 1987, holds the displays and takes longer. The site lies in Su Village, Danzao Town, Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, and is a protected national site, so check opening arrangements before travelling.

The house is also called "Yanxiang Old House". It was listed as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in 1996, in the fourth batch of such designations. A memorial hall to Kang Youwei was built beside it in 1987.
