About this place
The modest childhood home of Sanmao, the legendary Taiwanese writer whose wandering life and prose made her one of the most beloved literary figures in the Chinese-speaking world, tucked quietly in a residential alley in Nan'an District.
Drifter says
"A niche and emotionally resonant literary pilgrimage. There is something deeply intimate about tracing the roots of such a famously rootless person in the middle of this enormous, noisy city. Keep your voice low and your presence respectful — local residents still live right next door, carrying on with ordinary life as they always have."
