A Qing nobleman's mansion near Xidan that became a school for Mongolian and Tibetan students in 1913, where Li Dazhao and others carried out political work in the 1920s and, in 1924, Mongolian students including Ulanhu formed the Communist Party's first branch among an ethnic minority. After decades as a clothing market it was restored and reopened in 2023 as an exhibition hall on China's ethnic groups and national unity.
