The Chien Mu House (Chinese: 錢穆故居; pinyin: Qiánmù Gùjū) is a former house of Ch'ien Mu in Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan. The house is located inside Soochow University and managed by the university.

History

The house was constructed after Ch'ien Mu arrived in Taiwan from British Hong Kong in 1967 after the Hong Kong leftist riots which was known as Su Shu Lou. After Ch'ien Mu passed away in 1989, the Taipei City Government established the Chien Mu Memorial Library at the house. In 2000, the house underwent renovation by the city government. In 2002, Soochow University was appointed to manage the house and the house was officially reopened as Chien Mu House on 29 March 2002.[1]

Transportation

The house is accessible by bus from Shilin Station of Taipei Metro.[1]
