Wang Kunlun’s former residence, the “Seventy-two Peaks Pavilion”, was originally a building in the Taihu Villa built by Wang Kunlun’s father, Wang Xinru, in 1927. After Wang Kunlun’s death in 1985, the people of Wuxi specially designated the Seventy-Two Peaks Pavilion as his former residence in memory of this famous political activist who was both a veteran of the Kuomintang and a communist fighter.
The former residence is six rooms wide and covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. It is built in the style of a mountain, surrounded by corridors on three sides. It faces the vast Taihu Lake in the south and is shaded by green cypresses in the north. The environment is quiet and elegant.
There is a bronze bust of Wang Kunlun in front of the purple velvet canopy in the middle of the foyer. The “Exhibition of Wang Kunlun’s Life and Deeds” is now held in the former residence for visitors to visit and pay their respects.
