This is a small museum on the south side of the North Block of Xintiandi on Xingye Road that presents Shanghai life as it was around the 1920s and 30s in a shikumen-style "stone-gate" house.[2] There are about five rooms furnished with period furniture.[3] The museum includes a tingzijian, a small triangular room, sometimes rented out at a low price to impoverished writers and others.
