它采用地中海式建筑風(fēng)格，呈平面“一”字式布局，中間為兩層，兩側(cè)為一層。人字坡頂，屋頂設(shè)有露臺。建筑內(nèi)部使用木質(zhì)地板、樓梯，設(shè)有壁爐。周圍雙亭、水池、花架等景觀巧妙融為一體，顯得獨具匠心。據(jù)資料記載，宋慶齡曾在此接待過美國《時代周刊》記者白修德。

The Spanish Legation， formerly known as the "Lu Lankangs Residence"， commonly called the Spanish villa， was founded in 1928. It was originally a summer villa built by Wang Daixi， a wealthy business wizard born in Bishan District who returned from studying in France. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression， the Spanish Legation moved to Chongqing with the government of the Republic of China and set up its office here. It is now the museum of Nanshan Botanical Garden.

The building adopts Mediterranean architectural style. There is a front pool inlaid between a pebble and a rocky beach， with fernleaf hedge bamboos stretching across the water and red fishes playing in the water. They are ingeniously integrated with the two pavilions， pool， flower stands and other landscapes， showing appealing originality. According to records， Soong Ching Ling once received Theodore H. White Chinese name Bai Xiude， a reporter from the US Time magazine here.
