Official residence and private home of Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang, built from 1914 and popularly known as “Dashuai Fu” (Grand Marshal's Mansion), arguably the stage on which half of Northeast China's modern history unfolded. The complex blends Chinese and Western architecture: the traditional three-courtyard siheyuan served as offices and living quarters; the Daqinglou (Great Blue Building), a three-story Romanesque-style Western building, was once the highest administrative center of Northeast China, where major decisions such as the “Northeast Flag Replacement” were made; the Xiaoqinglou (Small Blue Building) is delicate and graceful, with Miss Zhao Si's Building (Zhao Yidi's former residence) facing it across the street. The exhibits center on the Huanggutun Incident and the Xi'an Incident, with a wealth of photos and artifacts recreating the father and son's tumultuous fates.
