Liulin Villa

Hidden inside the neighborhood of the Lane 532 of Yuyuan Garden are several exquisite houses with gardens. The dwellers now in these buildings are mostly Chinese migrants from outside Shanghai while the actual owners have moved out to new residences. Liulin Villa neighborhood was built during 1912 to 1936. Many high-ranking officers of the KMT and the leaders of the pseudo-government during the Anti-Japannese War lived here before the liberation of China. The whole neighborhood is composed of 18 buildings of two or three stories with approximately 153 proprietary households at present.
