Introducing Luojia Road

To the west of Jiangsu Road Square is a small road called Luojia Road. Although this road is not well-known, many prominent military and political figures in the Republic of China lived here.

No. 5 Luojia Road is a distinctive building, with its yellow cement stucco exterior, inlaid red windows, and towering chimney. It embodies a classic Republican-era blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles. The mottled walls barely conceal the building's age. Tang Enbo's former residence is located at No. 5 Luojia Road.
