Moganshan Scenic Area: Encounter a Unique Old-Style Courtyard Villa

✅ Located at the Queen's Hotel in Moganshan Scenic Area, about 200 meters from "Chairman Mao's Former Residence," stands an old-style courtyard villa named "Mogan Post • Seven-Seater," attracting numerous visitors. The villa's courtyard features a black ZIS sedan originally produced in the Soviet Union, while the adjacent mountain wall is engraved with Mao Zedong's poem "Qijue • Moganshan."

✔️ The villa's name derives from a line in Chairman Mao's poem: "Leaping into the 'seven-seater,' I turn to see peaks vanish into the vast wilderness." The car is a replica of the ZIS-115 sedan gifted to Mao during his 1950 visit to the USSR. With seating for seven, Mao humorously dubbed it the "seven-seater."

🎈 The architecture reflects an old-style courtyard villa, retaining Republic-era stone walls, arched windows, and other European elements. Its interior preserves the original ambiance, aligning with Moganshan's reputation as a "Museum of International Villas."

📍 The site offers coffee and tea, with outdoor wrought-iron seating where visitors can savor drinks while immersing in the historical atmosphere and overlooking the rolling bamboo sea.
