Located at No. 6, Lane 7, Qingtian Street, Taipei City, it is also known as "Qingtian 76". This area is the most concentrated location of Japanese-style historical residences known as "yingzai". It was built in 1931 by Professor Hachinoji Hitoshi, a Japanese architect. The entire building was mainly constructed with cypress wood. Inside, the left side of the house consists of a reception room, study, and dining room. The bookcases, glass bay windows, European-style flower beds outside, and the front garden all have a Western style. On the right side of the house, the bedroom and children's room are designed with Japanese tatami mats. The entire building combines the advantages of both Japanese and Western architecture. In 1945, it was occupied by Ma Tingying, a close friend of the professor, who was a professor in the Department of Geology at National Taiwan University. In 2006, the Taipei City Government officially designated it as a city-level historic site, and in 2011, alumni of National Taiwan University leased it from the management unit, National Taiwan University, and officially opened it to the public. In addition to free tours and science popularization activities, the living room, dining room, and study inside the house also sell food and cultural and creative products.

Professor Ma Tingying was from Jinxian County, Liaoning Province. His courtesy name was Xuefeng. The "H" in his English name, Ma, Ting Ying H., stands for Xuefeng. He was born in 1899 and was a famous geologist, paleontologist, and marine geologist. He was rigorous in his academic studies and had careful thinking. His research work covered all over the world, and he conducted field investigations and verifications, being a pioneer of today's important theories. After Professor Ma's death in 1979, in February 1980, President Chiang Kai-shek specially issued a commendation order to honor Professor Ma Tingying. The Geological Society of the Republic of China passed a resolution on July 16, 1987, to establish the "Ma Tingying Young Paper Award" to commemorate this great geologist and to honor Ma's achievements in his lifelong dedication to geological research. In 1945, the scholar Ma Tingying, who took over National Taiwan University, moved into this house, and from that year until 2007, it was always the Ma family's residence.>>

In addition, in the autumn of 1947, Chi Bangyuan, who came from Shanghai to Taiwan and served as a teaching assistant in the Department of Foreign Languages at National Taiwan University, once lived here as well. On May 2, 2006, the Taipei City Government announced that Qingtian 76 was officially designated as a municipal-level historic site, named "Japanese-style Dormitory of National Taiwan University - Ma Tingying's Former Residence".
