老舍纪念馆（老舍故居）
The home where Lao She lived while teaching in Jinan, where essays such as 'Winter in Jinan' were written in this small courtyard.
From 1930 to 1934, while teaching at Qilu University, Lao She lived in this siheyuan courtyard house on Nanxin Street. Here he wrote works including 'Winter in Jinan' and 'Daming Lake'. The former residence keeps the study and bedroom as they once were, and displays manuscripts, photographs and an introduction to the writer's life. Admission is free, and the site is usually closed on Mondays. The courtyard is small and can be seen in half an hour. It lies in the old city and can be combined with Furong Street and Daming Lake.
