About Guo Moruo Former Residence

The domestic building gives the biography a physical setting, while the adjoining museum explains his later life and work. Visit the house and museum as complementary spaces: one reveals the scale of family life, the other follows the intellectual career beyond Shawan. Admission arrangements for the two can differ.

What to look for

  • The historic family house provides the domestic setting of Guo Moruo’s youth.
  • The adjoining biographical museum interprets his writing, history and archaeology work.
