Shanghai Changning Children's Palace, Cultural heritage building in Changning District, China
The Shanghai Changning Children's Palace features a Victorian Gothic mansion with 40 rooms, marble columns, and Gothic arches throughout its interior spaces.
Built between 1932 and 1934 for Wang Boqun, Minister of Communications for the Kuomintang, the building later served as a prison and British Embassy before becoming a children's center.
Since 1960, the building functions as an educational center offering programs in arts, music, and dance for children in the Shanghai community.
Located at Number 31, Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road, the palace maintains a 5,000-square-meter garden with traditional Chinese landscaping elements and a 120-year-old magnolia tree.
The structure exhibits a combination of European architectural elements and Chinese garden design, including streams, bridges, and pavilions within its grounds.
