Overview

Considered the forerunner of the revolution, the home of Doctor Sun Yat-sen and his wife, Soong Qing Ling, has been lovingly preserved. Open to the public, the beautiful, 1920s home is still furnished and decorated the way it used to be. Visitors enter through the kitchen, where they are required to wear slippers over their shoes to protect the old flooring. An extensive photo exhibition is set up in the first room with information available in English and Chinese. A little bookstall offers literature and postcards featuring the famous couple. A larger gift shop sells souvenirs.

A well preserved residence as you see various personal belongings of China's modern founder. Note that the majority of the memorial hall information is in Chinese. Worth the time to visit. I would suggest visiting nearby Fu Xing Park and Yan Dang Rd as well.
