HuaShi Villa (HuaShi Lou) was built in 1930. It was originally a villa of a Russian aristocrat and later sold to a British businessman. After the Communists took the rule, the building was used for a reception facility. The building is one of the famous landscapes in the Eight Passes villa district for its unique appearance.

Thick stands of pine trees and manicured gardens surround the mansion making for the perfect setting for a leisurely walk.
