Introduction to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum (孙中山纪念馆)

Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum is a burial site of Sun Yat-sen and one of Nanjing's top tourist attractions, a great democratic revolution pioneer in China. The Scenic Spot of Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum is an important part of the Scenic Area of Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum. In the period of the Republic of China, the Scenic Area of Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum included the entire Zhongshan Mountain, covering a total area of about 31 square kilometers.
