John-Rabe House

Step into John Rabe's Former Residence and be transported to 1937 Nanjing. This German-style villa witnessed Rabe saving 250,000 refugees, with the original manuscript display of "The Good Man of Nanking" being particularly poignant. The recreated bomb shelter in the basement will give you chills, while the ginkgo tree in the courtyard symbolizes hope. Pro tip: Closed on Mondays—book a guide to hear this "Oskar Schindler of China"'s story.
