The Garden of Serenity or Jingyuan (靜園) is a museum[1] and former residence of Puyi, the last emperor of China in Tianjin, China.[2]
History
Located at 70 Anshan Road (then Miyajima Road) in the then Tianjin Japanese Concession, the Garden of Serenity was the residence of Lu Zongyu, a warlord and a member of the Senate during the Republican era. In 1929, Puyi moved to the villa and changed the name to "Jingyuan''. Puyi lived there until 1931 before moving to Manchukuo.

The building was later used for offices and was subsequently renovated and changed with parts of the Garden of Serenity being demolished.[3][4] Buildings added to Garden of Serenity after Puyi's departure were later demolished in the 2000s in an attempt to restore the building to its previous appearance during the 1920s and 1930s before becoming a museum.[4] Today the museum displays exhibits and displays relating to Puyi, the last emperor of China[1]
