Marshal Zhang’s Mansion (Chinese: 張氏帥府) is located in Shenyang (瀋陽), Liaoning (遼寧) Province, China. The mansion served as the residence for both Commander Zhuang Zuolin (張作霖) and his son, Young Marshal Zhang Xueliang (張學良).
The mansion is a splendid architectural complex consisting of four parts: the east, center, west yards and auxiliary buildings.
The oldest, and most traditional looking part of the mansion is the Three Courtyards (三進院). Construction on this part of the complex was started in 1914, and the Zhang family moved into the courtyards in 1916.
The Three Courtyards are built in the traditional Chinese Siheyuan (四合院) style, where the buildings form a quadrangle surrounding a courtyard.
The courtyards have eleven buildings total, they contain everything from a kitchen to a warehouse, to living quarters for the extended family, as well as general offices, reception halls, and more.
Some of the buildings have been converted to exhibition halls, showcasing about Xi'an Incident (西安事變), which was a political crisis that took place in Xi'an, Republic of China (中華民國) in 1936.
The garden behind the Three Courtyards is decorated with many Taihu stone (太湖石), looks like the royal garden in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
