Li Dazhao Former Residence

Li Dazhao Former Residence is an early 20th century dwelling in Beijing now operating as a museum for public viewing. It contains original furniture, personal items, photographs, and documents that illustrate the living conditions and daily aspects of that era.

The house was home to Li Dazhao, a key figure in 1921 when a major political party was established in China. His work at Peking University as a librarian shaped intellectual circles and the political movements that followed.

The rooms display how families lived in Beijing during the early 1900s, with spaces arranged according to the habits and customs of that period. Walking through them shows you how daily life was structured and organized in this household.

The site is easy to navigate with clear exhibition spaces that flow logically from room to room. Having some background knowledge about the historical period helps you connect what you see with the broader context.

A desk inside this house is where Li Dazhao wrote articles that introduced new political thinking to Chinese scholars and thinkers. The piece of furniture remains in its original spot, marking the exact place where influential words took shape.
