Activist Hu Jia said on Wednesday that Chinese citizens and foreign politicians should visit Ms Liu Xia at her guarded Beijing apartment to help her regain freedom.
A Hong Kong online newspaper, Mingbao, published a detailed guide for visiting the home.
The Associated Press last month visited the apartment when guards apparently were on break, conducting Ms Liu's first interview in two years. Mr Hu and other activists brushed past a guard to visit the home last week.
