Kunming Surroundings | The French-style Luhan Mansion

Visited the attractions around the park and casually racked up twenty thousand steps. The first stop is the Lu's Mansion, located at the south gate of Cuihu (Green Lake). Also known as the Yunnan Uprising Memorial, it was the private residence and office of Lu Han, the governor of Yunnan Province during the Republic of China era, and is the largest and best-preserved French-style building in Kunming🏡 The mansion consists of the new and old mansions, with the old mansion built in the 1930s. During the Spring Festival, only the living room and the reception room on the first floor of the old mansion are open for tourists to visit. By combining scene restoration, physical materials, and exhibition panels, the exhibition presents the life of Lu Han and the process of the Yunnan Uprising. As soon as you enter the mansion, it instantly takes you back to the Republic of China era. The interior decoration is exquisite, luxurious, and meticulously crafted. The reception room features a fireplace and stained glass windows, and the delicate furniture, cabinets, and window frames are all made of imported teak. The overall maintenance is very good, and it doesn't look like it was decorated ninety years ago at all. 'Historical Background During the Republic of China, Lu Han controlled the military and political power of Yunnan for over four years and was known as the last 'King of Yunnan' On the evening of December 9, 1949, Lu Han held a 'Hongmen Banquet' in the mansion, detaining the then Nationalist Party's Southwest Military and Political Commander, the commanders of the 8th and 26th Armies, and the head of the Military Statistics Bureau Yunnan Station, and announced the Yunnan Uprising. The Luhan Mansion witnessed this significant historical event, possessing high historical and architectural value.' To have such a set of French-style garden houses by the Green Lake is truly enviable
