The Hometown of Premier Zhou Enlai Scenic Area, located in Huai'an, was the place where Zhou Enlai, the first premier of the People's Republic of China, spent his childhood.

The scenic spot, covering 3.15 square kilometers, includes Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall, Zhen Enlai's former residence, Fuma Alley Historical Street and Hexia Ancient Town.

Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall displays many paintings and calligraphy works in memory of the respected premier.

The former residence was built as a wooden structure with black bricks and gray tiles. It consists of two houses – the East and the West – and boasts a total of 32 rooms.

The Fuma Alley, where Zhou's former residence is located, is an ancient alley spanning more than 300 meters.

Hexia Ancient Town has a history of over 2,500 years and is the hometown of many historical figures such as Liang Hongyu, a female Chinese general of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), and Wu Cheng'en, a famous Chinese novelist and poet of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
