Hu Yaobang's Former Residence, Historical residence in Cangfang Village, Liuyang, China.

Hu Yaobang's former residence is a compound in Cangfang Village consisting of several traditional structures spread across about 450 square meters. The complex includes old houses, an open courtyard, an ancestral temple, and an exhibition hall displaying historical documents and personal items.

Hu Yaobang's great-grandfather Hu Mingzhong and his elder brother Hu Mingjing built the house during the Xianfeng reign (1851–1862). Hu was born here on 13 November 1915 and left in October 1930. In 1962 he asked relatives not to rebuild it, but the Liuyang government rebuilt it in February 1995; his wife Li Zhao visited that September.

The residence displays the regional building style of Hunan with wooden beams and brick walls typical of the area for many generations. The rooms are arranged in the traditional way and show how people lived in this region long ago.

The site is easy to walk around with clear paths connecting the different buildings, allowing visitors to explore the compound at their own pace. Free entry tickets are available at the entrance when you present an identification document.

In 1962 Hu Yaobang asked his relatives not to rebuild the family home. The wish was not kept: the Liuyang city government rebuilt the residence in February 1995, and his wife Li Zhao visited it that September. The building open to visitors today is therefore a 1995 reconstruction.
