Description

Located at the foot of the second peak of the Purple Mountain is the Mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. On July 1, 1929, the remains of Dr. Sun Yat-sen were interred in the mausoleum. Having led the 1911 revolution that put an end to the feudal system in China, Sun is fondly and respectfully known as the Father of Modern China, and the Founder of the Republic of China. He was born in Guangdong, and he died in Beijing, but it was Dr. Sun Yat-sen's wish that Nanjing be his final resting place.

Admission: RMB 80 (Ticket includes access to the Mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the Guanghua Pavilion, the Linggu Pagoda, the Beamless Hall, Wangong Pool and many more interesting sights).
