Sun Yat-sen Memorial (Zhongshan Ling)
Sun Yat-sen Memorial (Zhongshan Ling) Review
Acknowledged by the Nationalist and Communist governments alike, the father of modern China lies buried in a delicately carved marble sarcophagus. His resting place is the center of a solemn and imposing monument to the ideas that overthrew the imperial system. On the mountain are steep trails up the pine-covered slopes that feel worlds away from the bustle of Nanjing. A popular destination for Chinese tourists, the mausoleum gets crowded on weekends.
