Top 2: Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum（中山陵）

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the burial site of Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), a great Chinese democratic revolutionary pioneer. It is situated at the foot of the second peak of Mount Zijin (Purple Mountain) in Nanjing, China.

Construction of the tomb started in January 1926, and was completed in the summer of 1929. Reclining on a mountain slope, the majestic mausoleum blends the styles of traditional imperial tomb design and modern architecture, covering an area of more than 80,000 square meters (8 hectares).

In addition to the mausoleum, there are also a handful of memorial buildings surrounding it, such as the Guanghua Pavilion, Xingjian Pavilion, Yangzhi Pavilion, Music Stand, Liuhui Pavilion and Scriptorium.

Admission:80 yuan (US$13.07)/person
