Located at 31 Jiajia Hutong in Xuanwu District, this was originally Puyang Guild Hall.
Lin Zexu (1785-1850) held the position of viceroy of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces during the Qing Dynasty. He was a famous patriot who launched the burning of opium and led an anti-drug campaign in the fighting against foreign aggression. This residence was his home when he came to hold a post in Beijing in 1831, where he lived for six years.
