The famous Hemingway Former Residence Museum on the island is open at 9am – 5pm, 11 yuan ticket, showing us a light blue east-west two-story building, and subtropical and subtropical green trees, it looks very quiet. Hemingway's former residence was built in 1851 by ship architect and shipwreck lifeguard Asa Tift, who bought it in 1931 and lived with his second wife Pauline. On the second floor, the first floor is the living room, the main dining room, the breakfast room, the kitchen, the second floor main bedroom, the children's house (Hemingway and Pauline have two men: Patrick and Gregory), the nanny house, etc. The furniture and other furnishings in the two-story building were exactly as Hemingway and his second wife Pauline lived in. Most of the furniture was carried from their former home in Paris, France. The striking display of a Dundun double cabinet in the living room is the 17th century Spanish-style furniture made from Cherokee walnuts. In that era, when wealthy Spaniards were traveling, they softly put documents and gold and silver on the upper floors that could be taken down and locked, and Pauline used the cabinet as a writing desk. Hemingway loved art, hanging paintings from local artists he bought and collected in the living room and bedroom. Hemingway's love of art was inherited from his mother, who was an artist. In the living room we also saw a red leather chair that was said to have appeared in the Broadway play "Fifth Column", the only major play by Hemingway. The second-floor master bedroom has a Mexican-style double cabinet with a famous sculpture cat on top of it, which is a gift from Picasso to Hemingway. At present, we see a replica, but the original was smashed by thieves. A weight gauge is placed in the main bathroom, which is used by Hemingway, who is said to have spent most of his life fighting his weight.

    Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea" is written in the former residence of keywest Hemingway. The exterior wall of the former residence is white and yellow and green, typical Victorian style, surrounded by a small, lush garden, although not large.

    Key West has Hemingway’s former home and the bar he often goes to. Ernest Hemingway (Ernest Hemingway, July 21, 1899 - July 2, 1961), American journalist and writer, considered one of the most famous novelists of the 20th century, wrote the world-famous Nobel Prize in Literature "Old Man and the Sea" (The Old Man and the Sea). Hemingway and his second wife Pauline began wintering in Key West in 1928, and their uncle bought them the house in 1931. From 1931 to 1939, he lived with his family until his death. Hemingway settled in Cuba between 1939 and 1960. Hemingway had always thought that he lived in Cuba and had his former residence in the United States.

    Hemingway, a city on the southernmost part of the United States, I thought it was in Cuba before I came here. I was fortunate to come here to look forward to my former residence and learn more about the history. It is a quiet, low-key and warm home. Most of the tourists here are European tourists.

    The Old Man and the Sea are our deepest understanding of Hemingway, whether it is a middle school textbook or a college recital, this article has been engraved in our minds. If you see the sea of the city of keywest and the clouds in the sunset, you may understand why Hemingway can write about the old man and the sea. Those who come here will also look at the six-toe cat

    This is Hemingway's former residence, very well preserved, all furnishings look very comfortable and natural. This is where he lives and works. Our guide was well informed and quite familiar with the owner of the house. He told us in detail how Hemingway cleaned the house before he died and explained to us many unknown details.
