Located in Yuzhong District, this mansion was built in the early Republic of China era by a salt merchant. It was later occupied by Dai Li (head of the Nationalist intelligence agency) from 1938 to 1945, who redesigned it with East-meets-West architectural flair as his residence and the office of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Approved by the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and Chongqing government in 2007, the restored Dai Li Mansion (a protected heritage site) now thrives as No. 85 Creative Mansion—a cultural tourism innovation hub hosting over 100 cultural events and serving as an important showcase for Chongqing’s cultural tourism.
