Former Residence of Sun Yat-sen, Zhongshan

The Former Residence of Sun Yat-sen is a memorial site in a village in Guangdong Province that displays his home and workspaces. The complex includes several buildings and museums that document his life and the history of his era.

The site was established in 1956 as a memorial for a major statesman born in 1866 who led a revolution. This revolution ended the old dynasty and enabled the transition to a modern state.

The site bears the name of the founder of modern China and displays his life through preserved rooms and personal belongings. Visitors can see how he lived and worked, offering a direct impression of his world.

The grounds are best explored on foot, as various exhibitions are housed in separate buildings. Plan for enough time to visit all areas, especially if you are interested in details.

Within the complex sits a library that preserves rare original works and writings from contemporaries of that era. This collection is not found in many other places and offers deep insight into the thinking of that period.
