The former residence of Pu Songling is a complex with multiple traditional buildings from the Ming and Qing periods, featuring thatched roofs and stone foundations in Zichuan District. The structures display typical residential architecture of those eras with their characteristic construction methods and layouts.

The memorial hall displays manuscripts and personal items that show how Pu Songling shaped Chinese literature. Visitors can see the works and objects that made him an important figure in the literary world.
The property is easy to reach on foot and well-marked for visitors exploring the historic rooms. It is best to allow enough time to thoroughly view both the buildings and the exhibits inside.
The memorial was established in 1980 to preserve the writer's heritage and make it accessible to the public. Since then it has grown into an important destination for literature enthusiasts from across the region.
