Built in the 1920s by a Greek shipping magnate, this building became home to the wife of Dr Sun Yatsen from 1948 to 1963. Size up two of her black limousines (one a gift from Stalin) in the garage and pad about the house, eyeing its period furnishings.

It's all a bit neglected, with threadbare carpets and peeling paint, and in need of tender loving care. The highlight is the gorgeous garden out back, with tall magnolias and camphor trees towering over a delightful lawn, where Song entertained her guests with conversation and tea.
