Walking Guide

Take the Subway Line 5 to Dengshikou Station and exit at Exit A2. After exiting, walk to Dongdan North Street and head north along the street. At the first intersection (Dongtangzi Alley intersection), turn right into Dongtangzi Alley. Continue walking east for about 700 meters to the eastern end of the alley. On the south side of the road, you'll see a three-story Western-style villa with red bricks. This is the residence of Wu Lien-teh, and the camera position is next to the indoor staircase.
