Build a trip to Shanghai
This three-story English-style brick house was the long-term residence of Rewi Alley, a renowned New Zealand social reformer who significantly contributed to China's industrial cooperatives. Built circa 1912 or 1930s, where Alley lived from 1932 to 1937, this residence reflects a quiet, scholarly atmosphere with its vine-covered walls and preserved architectural details from the 1920s-1930s. Visitors can feel the intersection of internationalism and local history through the displayed artifacts and the serene courtyard. Expert recommendation: Pay close attention to the top floor, which once housed a secret radio station that kept the Communist forces connected during the Long March. Pro tips: As it is located within a quiet residential lane, please keep your voice down to respect the local neighbors. Admission is usually free, but check for occasional temporary closures for maintenance.
