The garden villa at 113 Wukang Road where the novelist Ba Jin lived from 1955 until his death in 2005, kept as he left it — study, manuscripts, 40,000 books — and opened as a free house-museum in 2011. Small, quiet, and normally the one house on this street you can actually walk through. Normally: the last official word (October 2025) says it is closed for restoration, and no reopening notice has been found.

Beat the crowds

A small house with a capacity cap — holidays mean a queue; weekday afternoons rarely do.
