Shuanglongxiang block is rich in historical and cultural heritage, including quadrangles, celebrities' former residences, folk culture and other cultural elements. Zhang Fang's former residence focuses on Zhang Fang's personal participation in military politics, literature collection and contribution to Kaifeng's construction and development, allowing visitors to experience the ancient building regulations, the patriotic feelings of celebrities in Shuanglong Lane and the historical imprint made for Kaifeng's development.
Zhang Fang's hometown is Chaoyang Hutong 19. It is the third Zhangfu of Zhang Fang in Kaifeng, and it is also the only existing Zhangfu. In 2008, it was rated as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit by the people of Henan Province. The house was built in the year of "Guangxu Renyin", that is, the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, AD 1902. The house consists of two parts: the master room and the West Affiliated Hospital. The main house is a typical standard three-way courtyard house in the Central Plains, with a total construction area of more than 800 square meters.
Zhang Fang was the acting chairman of Henan Province and was elected as a member of the CPPCC after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It turns out that he has three former residences in Kaifeng, and only 19 Chaoyang Hutong exists. Zhang Fang lived in Caomenli Chaoyang Hutong Road North 19, Kaifeng for a long time. It was originally a three-step courtyard built in the Qing Dynasty, with blue bricks and tiles, white and gray seams, front porch and back building, with more than 50 rooms, elegant doors and windows and indoor decorative wood partitions. It used to be the property of Wang Weichun, which is known as "the richest man in Kaifeng". It is different from Tianjia 12 and Optimistic Street 65438. When Zhang Fang bought this house, there was also a west courtyard, which has been used by Kaifeng River Affairs System since Zhang Fang left the capital city. Zhang Fang's former residence is not only a cultural display and historical inheritance of celebrities' former residences, but also a unique way to reproduce Kaifeng's vicissitudes in the past century.
Zhang Fang's former residence can not only be visited by citizens and tourists, but also involves a brand-new commercial field. First of all, the Rongrong Conference Center, located on the second floor of Zhang Fang's former West Campus, has a professional conference reception function, which can meet various functions and needs such as business negotiation, service reception, conference exhibition and so on.
