Cai Yuanpei's Former Residence, Historical residence museum in Dongcheng District, China.

Cai Yuanpei's former residence is a house museum in Dongcheng that displays personal items, photographs, and documents recording the life of the Chinese scholar. The rooms contain furniture, writing materials, and everyday objects that reflect his academic daily life.

Cai Yuanpei rented this courtyard house from 1917 to 1920 while serving as president of Peking University, and here he set out the university's founding aims. On the eve of 4 May 1919 he summoned student representatives to the house to announce that Premier Qian Nengxun had signed the Paris peace terms, and the demonstration decided that night launched the May Fourth Movement. After 1949 the property passed to the Dongcheng district housing authority and became a crowded residential compound; it was listed as a district heritage site in 1986, threatened by the Jinbao Street development, vacated of its 14 households by the Fuhua group around 2000, restored from July 2007 to March 2008, opened as a memorial in May 2009 and listed as a Beijing municipal heritage site in 2011.

The compound is the side courtyard east of the main residence, about 566 square metres, entered from Dongtangzi Hutong through a gate in the five-room south building. Its three successive courtyards hold the south rooms, the three north rooms with side rooms, and east and west wings; a small west door connects to the neighbouring Li Family Cuisine courtyard. In the third courtyard, two small rooms served as Cai Yuanpei's living room and study.

The residence is a side courtyard of about 566 square metres at 75 Dongtangzi Hutong, entered from the hutong through the gate in the southeast room of the first courtyard. Visitors pass through three successive courtyards; Cai Yuanpei's study and living room are the two small rooms at the far west of the third courtyard. The white marble bust and the stone couplet are on the west side of the north courtyard.

The desk, typewriter and blue gown in Cai Yuanpei's study are period pieces gathered by staff from various sources, not objects he used. The white marble bust in the north courtyard was donated by Chen Lihua of Fuhua International Group and unveiled on 10 May 2009, together with the exhibition.
