Address: No. 137 Wutong Road, Huangpu District

In Shanghai, some of the celebrities' residences in Ming and Qing Dynasty are quite beautiful, but most of them have vanished without a trace, or partially retained.

Shichun Hall, hidden in the old downtown area, was part of the Former Residence of Pan'en who was a Shanghai-born minister in Ming Dynasty. The well-known Yuyuan Garden was built by Pan's son.

In 1640 the hall was rebuilt to be the earliest Catholic Church in Shanghai and was renamed Jingyi Hall. The Chinese style architecture now houses a school gym.

Until now the whole framework of Shichun Hall has been well preserved. And ancient buildings like this are few in number in Shanghai.

上海老房子：世春堂

地址：梧桐路137号

老城厢内明、清时的名人宅第有些相当精致，但大多已无迹可循，即使留存的也仅是局部。明朝上海籍大臣潘恩的部分旧宅世春堂就掩映在热闹的老城厢里。

世春堂在1640年后变为上海最早的天主教堂，改名敬一堂，是完全中式建筑的天主教堂。这座全部楠木构架的明代古建筑现在成了小学生的健身房。世春堂整个框架还保存较完好，这样的古建筑上海已经不多了。
