Lonely Planet review for Zhou Enlai’s Former Residence

In 1946 Zhou Enlai, the urbane and much-loved (although some swear he was even more sly than Mao) first premier of the People’s Republic of China, lived in this former French Concession Spanish villa at 107 (now 73) Sinan Rd. Zhou was then head of the Communist Party’s Shànghǎi office, and spent much of his time giving press conferences and dodging Kuomintang agents who spied on him from across the road. There’s not much to see these days except spartan beds and stern-looking desks, but the charming neighbourhood, with its lovely old houses, is a great place to wander around.
