China’s admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the well-preserved childhood home of Tu Youyou,the Chinese pharmacologist(药物学家) who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine,into a popular tourist destination.

Since it was announced that 91-year-old Tu Youyou had become the first Chinese citizen to win this international prize,her former home in the old town of Ningbo,Zhejiang Province,has attracted visitors,especially parents and their children—even though it is not open to the public.

The house,where Tu Youyou lived until she went to university in Beijing,covers an area of 2,200 square metres and is priced at 150 million yuan.It is part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings,including several city-level and district-level cultural relic preservation sites,which have been transformed into a high-end art,and commercial zone.

“There are continually parents taking their children,from babies to college students,to take photos in front of Tu Youyou’s former home.Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol(巡逻) around the clock,” said Mr Zhao,a salesperson from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.

Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei,who was on a trip to Ningbo,took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday.“Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers.Taking children to visit the former dwelling(住处) places of celebrities(名人) is a way to inspire them to study harder,” Xu said.
