McDonald's opens in historic home, with Starbucks in annex

A McDonald's cafe opened in the old home of former Taiwan leader Chiang Ching-kuo in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, last week.

The house, built in 1931, is located in Hangzhou's West Lake Scenic Area. Chiang, son of former Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek, and his family lived there from October to November 1948. It consists of two buildings, each with two stories.

The annex of the house was turned into a Starbucks coffeehouse two months ago.
