Chaonei No. 81
Chaonei No. 81, located along Beijing’s Chaoyangmen Inner Street, is widely celebrated as one of mainland China’s most legendary urban haunted sites. Built in 1910 in French Baroque architectural style, the dilapidated mansion stood deserted for decades amid modern glass skyscrapers. Local legend claims the spirit of a Kuomintang officer's mistress haunts its grand staircases and decaying hallways. Despite official efforts to dispel ghost stories and renovate the site, Chaonei No. 81 remains an iconic symbol of Chinese dark tourism and horror lore.
