Former Residence of Li Hongzhang Anhui

Li Hongzhang, born to farmers in Hefei, rose to become a key official in the late Qing dynasty, playing a part in China's modernisation (and also in the signing of the much maligned unequal treaties foisted upon China). Set among the hubbub of the Huaihe Lu pedestrian street, this building is his restored former home and now serves as a museum with some English explanations on the man's life and politics.
