🌿Looking back at Shanghai in the 1920s, it was a time of turbulence and collision between the East and the West. Moller Villa was born in this historical torrent, witnessing the settlement and integration of foreign expatriates in Shanghai at that time. At that time, the shipping industry was booming, and Moller, as a leader in the industry, spared no effort to build this villa to show his identity and status, and to create a warm and comfortable home for his family.
🌈The ultimate guide to visiting Shanghai Moller Villa‼️‼️!
I will help you avoid the pitfalls I have personally experienced\(`Δ’)
❤️This was originally a fairy tale world built by a Jewish tycoon, Mr. Moller, for his little daughter,
a dream building comparable to a Disney castle.
After several changes of ownership, it became a first-class modern protected building in Shanghai in 1989,
and was transformed into Hengshan Moller Villa Hotel in 2005🏨 and opened to the public.
