Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum

The first stop is the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which is considered the last imperial mausoleum in China, right? It is a bit ironic that Dr. Sun Yat-sen devoted his life to opposing feudalism and overthrowing the monarchy, but he was buried as an emperor after his death. It is located in the Zhongshan Scenic Area in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, adjacent to Linggu Temple in the east and Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming in the west. The entire building complex was built according to the mountain terrain. Construction began in the spring of 1926 and was completed in the summer of 1929. It became one of the first national key cultural relics protection units in 1961. He was neither an emperor nor a prince, but his tomb is also called a "mausoleum".

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the burial place of Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of China's democratic revolution. The main buildings in the mausoleum area are all made of white granite. The appearance is traditional Chinese style. All the glazed tiles are blue, which probably symbolizes the blue sky and white sun of the Republic of China. Zhongshan, where the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located, has beautiful scenery. Everyone who comes to Nanjing can come and see it to commemorate the pioneer of the democratic revolution.

You only need to make an appointment in advance with your ID card. You can enter by swiping your ID card when you arrive. You cannot make an appointment for the same day. I made an appointment about 2-3 days in advance.

After entering, we hesitated for a long time whether to go up to the top to pay homage to Sun Yat-sen. It really looked very tiring, and such tiredness would affect our energy for the rest of the trip.

Xiao H said that the scenery above is actually worth seeing, but I was half naive and thought that at most I could just go to bed early and wake up the next day, and half thought that since we were here, Sun Yat-sen was a great man who was worth walking up a flight of stairs for. So I decided to go~

The door was very dignified. I took off my hat and walked inside to pay my respects. After that, I felt that it was worth walking up this staircase.

The scenery is really nice when I take a photo from the top. If I walk a few more days into late autumn, it will probably be even better. But I am really exhausted.

There are many primary and secondary school students here for autumn outings and study. The energy of young people is really amazing.

The sky was not very clear, and the temperature was just right. It was already January 2, the first working day of the new year. There were no bustling crowds of tourists, and it was a good atmosphere to pay homage to Mr. Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum. Climb up the stairs and feel the solemnity and majesty of the entire mausoleum. The fraternity archway pays homage to Mr. Sun Yat-sen's righteousness and mind. I believe that Taiwanese people have stronger feelings for the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum than mainlanders, because in a sense, democracy, people's livelihood, and civil rights have been truly realized in Taiwan. In fact, the most important thing to come to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is to pay homage to Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and the second is to enjoy the scenery. However, when I saw his inscriptions such as "天下为公", "浩气长存", and "博爱", I was deeply touched that this person who proposed the nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood in those days was a great man full of idealistic feelings for the country, a politician whose tactics were not so dirty.

A distant view of the memorial hall taken at Boai Square. There is a bit of fog in the mountains, and it is gray.

Climbing to the highest point and overlooking Nanjing, I seemed to understand his original intention when he said during his hunting trip in Zijin Mountain, "After I die, I wish to ask the people for a piece of pure land to rest my body." It should be that he was concerned about the future of the nation even after his death.

Let me say a few more words about the roof of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. The blue-green glazed roof is quite beautiful.

This great man was sleeping in the bronze gate behind the statue. People consciously did not make any noise or behave in a disorderly manner.

With a plain in front and mountains in the back, the magnificent Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is famous at home and abroad for the resting place of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of the democratic revolution. Nation, people's livelihood, civil rights. PS: You need to make an appointment to enter the scenic area, just search the WeChat public account. The scenic area is free of charge, so the supporting prices are extremely expensive. Parking is 20 yuan/hour, which is the most expensive I have ever seen. Try not to drive. There are also local big liars in the parking lot, pretending to help direct the vehicle. Once it stops, they say they can help drive and take it directly to the scenic area. They ask for 120 yuan. Your appearance is really ugly. Don't be fooled. Spending this money is not worthy of the green pines and cypresses on both sides of the road.

Zhongshan is also known as Purple Mountain because of the purple clouds that often linger on the top of the mountain. Zhongshan and Houhu Lake face each other, laying the foundation for Nanjing's natural beauty. The mountains, rivers, cities and forests are integrated into one, which can be said to be the epitome of Nanjing's mountains, rivers and humanities. Therefore, Zhuge Liang praised it as "Zhongshan is like a dragon, Shitou is like a tiger, this is the home of the emperor."

Zhongshan Mountain stands on the bank of the Yangtze River with the momentum of a "coiled dragon". It drinks in the clouds and swallows the mist. It has been lush and green for thousands of years. It has welcomed several dynasties of emperors and heroes and has green pines and cypresses. It integrates diverse cultures and several natural works and stands out among all the mountains. It encompasses the culture of the Six Dynasties, the culture of the Ming Dynasty, the culture of the Republic of China, the culture of mountains, rivers, cities and forests, the culture of ecological leisure, and the Buddhist culture series in one mountain, and is known as "the first humanistic mountain in Chinese cities."

TIPS: You need your ID card to make an appointment in advance! Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is closed on Mondays!

The scenic spot implements a real-name reservation system. After a successful reservation, you can enter the park directly with a second-generation ID card. Tourists who want to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum can find the reservation QR code at the entrance of the scenic spot and make an on-site reservation. The disadvantage is that if the on-site reservation is full, you can only make a reservation for other time periods and cannot enter immediately. Alternatively, you can follow the "Zhongshan Scenic Area" WeChat public account, select "Reservation Service" in the "Ticket Service" menu, and you can make an appointment in advance for the time you want to go.

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is a place that lives up to its reputation. It was drizzling that day, and the morning mist was lingering. The whole mausoleum seemed to be gently covered by a layer of gauze, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity. Walking on the long stone steps, every step seemed to be a dialogue with history. The pines and cypresses on both sides of the stone steps were tall and straight, as if they were guarding this great revolutionary pioneer.



Walking in front of the mausoleum, the solemnity hits you. The statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen is solemn and dignified, with a firm look in his eyes, as if he is looking at the land he loves so much. Standing here, one can't help but think of his great contributions to the country and the nation, and one's heart is filled with respect.



In general, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place for deep thought. It reminds us that history cannot be forgotten and the spirit of our ancestors should be passed on.

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing is the burial place of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of China's modern democratic revolution. It has extremely important historical significance and extremely high artistic value.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen was the founder of the Republic of China. He devoted his life to China's modernization and national independence. The Revolution of 1911 successfully overthrew the Qing Dynasty, ended the feudal monarchy that had lasted for thousands of years, and paved the way for China's modernization. On March 12, 1925, Dr. Sun Yat-sen died of illness in Beijing. According to his wish to be buried in Nanjing Zhongshan before his death, the National Government chose to build the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum at the southern foot of Zhongshan.

When you first come to Nanjing, you may not visit the Presidential Palace or the Nanjing Museum, but you must visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, because it is the mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer of modern democratic revolution in China, and its affiliated memorial buildings. The mausoleum covers an area of ​​more than 80,000 square meters and was started in the spring of 1926 and completed in the summer of 1929.

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is surrounded by a plain in front, with green mountains in the back, Linggu Temple in the east, and Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming in the west. The entire building complex is built according to the mountain terrain, gradually rising from south to north along the central axis. The main buildings include the Boai Pavilion, the tomb passage, the mausoleum gate, stone steps, stele pavilions, sacrificial halls and tombs, which are arranged on a central axis, reflecting the style of traditional Chinese architecture. Looking down from the air, it looks like a "Liberty Bell" lying on a green velvet carpet. The architecture of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum integrates the essence of ancient Chinese and Western architecture, and is solemn, simple and innovative.

The buildings of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum have achieved excellent results in terms of shape combination, color application, material expression and detail treatment. The harmonious and unified color tones further enhance the solemn atmosphere. It has both profound meaning and magnificent momentum. They are all masterpieces of famous architects with extremely high artistic value. They are known as "the first mausoleum in the history of modern Chinese architecture."

The scenic area is very quiet and clean. There are no peddlers. There are plenty of parking spaces. It is close to the scenic area. The parking price is reasonable. The only drawback is that some shortcuts are closed. You have to go back. For example: from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, you need to go down the mountain, return to the main road and then go up again.

There are two very famous mausoleums in Nanjing, one is the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the other is the mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of the democratic revolution. These two mausoleums are located next to each other and are both located in the Zhongshan Scenic Area.



You need to make an appointment to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. You can make an appointment by following the official WeChat account and registering your identity information. The appointment should be made one day in advance and divided into time periods. After arriving, I rented an interpreter at the visitor center for 20 yuan. This is highly recommended. After all, it is good to listen to such cultural attractions. The interpreter is automatically positioned and will automatically broadcast when it arrives at a place.



Because the tomb is closed, the sacrificial hall is the end of this visit. When I walked down the steps, I couldn't help but take pictures of the maple leaves beside the steps. It was so beautiful. I was glad that I came at the right time. The sun shines through the red maple leaves, dancing with the notes of history. The blue glass and the blue sky seem to merge into one. Time freezes at this moment. Looking at the mountains in the distance, the green stretches without boundaries. Everyone's end is the same, and being remembered by others may be eternal life.

It's worth a visit, but the queue at the entrance to the park is a bit chaotic. The scenery at the top of the stairs is beautiful no matter how you take pictures. As for the top, I feel that you can go in or not, there is nothing to see

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer of the democratic revolution. The construction of the mausoleum started in January 1926, the main building was completed in the spring of 1929, and the Feng'an ceremony was held on June 1 of the same year. After that, the project continued until it was completed by the end of 1931. The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum covers an area of ​​2,000 acres, built on the mountain, facing the plain in front and the green peaks in the back. It is magnificent and has a "Liberty Bell" shape. The mausoleum building is symmetrical in the central axis. From the memorial archway, tomb passage, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion to the sacrificial hall and tomb chamber, the horizontal distance is 700 meters, the height difference is 70 meters, there are 392 stone steps and 10 platforms, all of which are made of white granite and reinforced concrete, covered with blue glass tiles. At present, only the exterior and the statue of Sun Yat-sen can be seen, and the mausoleum can no longer be visited. From June 1, 2018, Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum will implement free visits with real-name reservations.

It is just a mausoleum. You need to climb many stone steps to get to it. Please remember to make an appointment in advance through the WeChat public account. The Zhongshan Scenic Area is very large, so be sure to spend money to buy the unlimited scenic area transportation for 50 yuan on the same day.

Zhongshan Scenic Area is a large area, including Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Meiling Palace, Music Stage and other attractions. Only Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free, but you need to make an appointment. You can make an appointment in advance on the official website or on site. It doesn't feel difficult to make an appointment, but you have to grasp the time. The appointment time is divided into morning (8:30-10:30) and afternoon (because I made an appointment in the morning, so the specific time in the afternoon is not clear). You must swipe your ID card or the admission voucher (QR code) after the successful appointment to enter the park during this time period (the staff said that it doesn't matter if it's half an hour before or after). If you have an appointment but you have something to change the time, remember to cancel the appointment. It is said that if you make 3 appointments but don't go, you will be blacklisted. Several attractions except Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum require tickets. If you plan to visit multiple attractions, you can buy a joint ticket, which is 100 yuan/person. In addition, because the entire scenic area is too large, if you are not a self-driving travel partner, you will most likely rely on a sightseeing tour bus, which is charged at 10 yuan/person per time, or you can buy a bracelet (which is unlimited number of rides on the same day), 50 yuan/person. My mother and I bought a combined ticket and a wristband. I haven't calculated whether the ticket was worth it, but it seems that I lost money on the wristband, as I remember only riding it four times.

The mausoleum of revolutionary pioneer Sun Yat-sen is solemn and majestic. There is an electric car from Xiamafang subway station to the entrance of the mausoleum. If you don't take the car, it will take 40 minutes to walk, which is very physically demanding.

It's a place you have to visit once, but it's not necessary to visit more than once. The blue glazed tiles are really beautiful.

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is very magnificent, with many steps that the elderly cannot climb. I was deeply moved by the idea of ​​"the world is for all".

The autumn scenery at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is simply amazing! Ginkgo leaves are not allowed to be swept away, so it is particularly autumnal.

It is quite famous, but the scenery is average. It is the best scenery in the Republic of China.

I still have to look at the founding father, and I found that the stairs don’t seem to be very high...

It's fun, but tiring! It's worth a try hahahahaha

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the symbol of Nanjing. It is a must-see attraction.

I personally think it is the most worthwhile classic place to visit in Nanjing. It commemorates Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the mausoleum is also very beautiful.

The world belongs to all, the Three Principles of the People, the Prime Minister will live forever, and the nation is waiting to be revived

In the northeast of Nanjing City, there are towering trees in the mountains, fresh and pleasant air, and many tourists.

The mausoleum is large in scale, imposing and has pleasant scenery, but it is too hot in summer. I was sweating profusely after taking a walk around.

The first batch of national key cultural relics protection units - Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

The world belongs to all, there are many people, the sun is very big, but you can overlook the city of Nanjing.

After walking up so many flights of steps and finally standing in front of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and looking back, you will have the feeling of being "above everyone else". The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is a highest point from which you can overlook the entire city of Jinling.

A purely tourist-style sightseeing tour, just like hiking for fitness

I came here for the second time after six years. Time flies, so I have time to travel more.

Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is definitely worth a visit, with its green trees.

You must make an appointment in advance! In advance! You can only enter by appointment! Make an appointment! Make an appointment! Make an appointment! Scan the code to make an appointment! China-TravelNote did not remind you to make an appointment! You can't enter without an appointment! Scan the code to make an appointment in advance!

Not bad! It feels so solemn when entering the mausoleum! Feel the greatness of our ancestors!

The scale is very large, and the overall feeling is that the greenery of the scenic area is very good. When I went there, it was free to visit. I don’t know if it is still free now.

You need to make an appointment in advance on the "Zhongshan Scenic Area" official account. There is a limit on the number of people in each time period on weekdays and weekends. You can enter the park with your ID card. If you cannot enter the park at the specified time, you need to cancel the appointment in advance to free up the quota. You can take a taxi directly to the parking lot. If you take the subway, you will also need to take a sightseeing bus to get in. If you don't take the sightseeing bus, you will have to walk quite a distance.

Reservations are required for visits! Reservations are required for visits! Reservations are required for visits! Important things must be said three times! You cannot enter if the time period is not reached! China-TravelNote, please remind me on the page!

It's worth going. You can listen to the explanations on WeChat and listen to the history and introduction while walking, which is really immersive.

I personally think this is the first choice when you come to Nanjing. A mountain for one person only!

The mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, is revered by thousands of people.

It was snowing when I went there, and the whole Zhongshan Mountain was so beautiful.

I got up early and the air in the scenic area was particularly good. I took a taxi and the driver was very enthusiastic in introducing me to interesting places.

There were still quite a lot of people, and I saw a group of particularly spirited policemen working hard to maintain law and order. Taking photos of the statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen was not allowed, so I could only admire it from afar.

I haven't been to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum for many years. I wonder if the free area now includes Linggu Temple.

Climb up the steps and overlook the city of Nanjing. The view is pretty good!

It takes a long walk to enter the scenic area. The trees are towering. I wonder if people should calm down on this road and then climb the 392 steps to pay homage to Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum. It is solemn and dignified.

It is hard to describe the solemnity of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Boulevard, the blue bricks and white walls, I am shocked by the mountain scenery.

It's free and a great place to experience the vastness of the world.

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free to enter, but the memorial hall and tomb chamber are closed every Monday, so you can only visit from outside. Although it is free, you need to make a real-name reservation in advance on the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum WeChat official account, and you need to scan the ID card filled in when you make the reservation when entering the ticket gate. Or you can buy a combined ticket in advance and scan the QR code, so you don't need to make a reservation.

If you want to go to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, remember to search for [Zhongshan Scenic Area] on WeChat to make an appointment for a visit. You must enter the park with your reservation information and ID card. Fortunately, I did some research before leaving on the day and quickly made an appointment for the visit. As a result, I found that many tourists who did not make an appointment in advance could not make an appointment for the day, so I was turned away~

After paying tribute to Mr. Sun Yat-sen, you may want to take a closer look at the buildings here.

In July 2014, I visited the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. There were many people there. It was tiring to climb the stairs. I felt the hardships of the revolutionary road.

Coming out of the Meiling Palace, you can reach the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum by walking about 1 kilometer along the road. You can also take the scenic area electric car, but I personally think it is not far to walk. When I went there, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and I felt that the scenery along the road was very beautiful when I walked.

Please note that the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free to visit, but you need to follow the WeChat public account "Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area", make an appointment with your real name, and enter by swiping your ID card. I entered at the entrance of "Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum". It is closed for maintenance every Monday (except statutory holidays and the birthday and death anniversaries of Dr. Sun Yat-sen), and the tomb is open from Tuesday to Friday (except statutory holidays), as well as the birthday and death anniversaries of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

There is a complete noise ban in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Please do not make loud noises. Taking photos is also prohibited when visiting the statue of Sun Yat-sen in the memorial hall at the top.

After visiting the memorial hall, I walked down the stairs and took the small path to get to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. It was a bit scary to walk alone, as there was almost no one for a long section of the road. I suggest that those who travel alone do not go to this memorial hall.

There is no entrance fee to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. The most famous thing about it is probably the hundreds of steps at the bottom. It is very tiring to walk up. From a high place, you can not see the stairs. After going up, you can see the bronze statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, but you cannot see his body here. So most of the time, you probably just experience the shock brought by these hundreds of steps.

I don't know where I saw it before, but whether in China or abroad, building long staircases in front of the door can make the visitor, no matter how imposing and confident he is, after climbing these stairs and expending a lot of physical energy, feel awe of the people or things he meets next.

After climbing all the way up, you will find that the best scenery is at the end~

You need to follow the official account to make an appointment for Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum online. Fortunately, the driver reminded us in time, otherwise we might have missed it. Not only did the driver forget or for some other reason, we hurriedly booked the tickets for Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and only cared about going to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. We completely forgot the arrangement that the driver had mentioned at the beginning to go to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, which became another regret.

Due to the particularity of the scenic spot, it is not convenient to take too many photos.

How can I say that the experience of joining the tour group was very bad. Fortunately, we were able to visit

In fact, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is just one of the attractions in Zhongshan Scenic Area. I walked 2 kilometers after getting off the subway station to reach the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and found many other attractions along the way. If you want to finish your visit in Zhongshan Scenic Area, you can still stay overnight and visit the paid attractions one by one.

It is recommended to take a sightseeing bus. After all, it takes about half an hour to walk from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the scenic area, and it is uphill. You have to climb the mountain to reach the scenic area, so the sightseeing bus is still necessary. Tips: No tickets are required for Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, but tickets are required for Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.

You could see Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s tomb before, but it has been closed in recent years for protection purposes, so you cannot see Mr. Sun’s portrait when you go in. However, the architectural structure inside is very unique. When you go in, be sure to look at the ceiling. As for what you will see, I’ll keep you in suspense. You will naturally discover the mystery when you go there.

There are a lot of people. It's normal on weekends. Make an appointment in advance, use WeChat or scan your ID card at the queue.

The Mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the nation, has a historical memorial value that outweighs its scenic value. A must-visit place in Nanjing.

我是坐地鐵二號線到苜蓿園站1出口，按照指標到達游客服物中心，紫金山分別有明孝陵、中山陵及鐘山風景區，中山陵免門票參觀，但是需購買電瓶車票往返，最高處的祭堂是陵墓的核心建築，到牌坊平面距離700米，垂直落差73米。

The scenic area is very large, including the 13 Ming Tombs and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, so you need to drive

You need to make an appointment in advance, you can make an appointment on WeChat. We arrived at the scenic spot at 8:30 and there were not many people, so we could go up directly. It was not high and it took about half an hour to walk up. Because it was not a holiday, we could only pay our respects to the stone statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen outside and could not go in.

As the top attraction in Zhongshan Scenic Area, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is now open for free. You only need to make an appointment in advance. It is best to make an appointment one day in advance. If it is a weekend, you need to make an appointment several days in advance, otherwise you will be ruthlessly blocked by the staff. I originally planned to visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum first and then visit Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and Meiling Palace in sequence, but I didn’t know about the appointment. I followed the WeChat public account at the entrance of the scenic spot with a confused face and waited until the afternoon. It is said that the architectural structure of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is carefully designed by the master. Looking up from the bottom, you can see stairs, and looking down, you can only see the platform. It is very neat and regular, and the visual feeling is very comfortable. From the top of the mountain, you can see the whole picture of Zhongshan, and the city in the distance can also be seen, which is very beautiful. Since the tomb is only open on holidays, the visit to the memorial hall on the top of the mountain ends. There are some regrets. It is said that Sun Yat-sen hoped that his body could be preserved permanently for people to admire, but because of the technical problems at the time, it did not succeed. Now it can only be seen in the image, but this is not a cenotaph. The soul of Sun Yat-sen will stay here forever, which is the greatest pride of Nanjing City.

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free to visit, but you need to make an appointment in advance on the official account with your real name, and you must visit according to the appointment time. If you do not visit according to the appointment time, you must remember to cancel the appointment in advance, otherwise you will not be able to make an appointment again and will be blacklisted. We almost did not cancel the appointment the day before, but fortunately the staff on site reminded us, otherwise we would not be able to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum the next day.

From the platform in front of the sacrificial hall, you can overlook the entire Zhongshan Mountain, which is lush and green.

Take a sightseeing bus and drive along Wutong Avenue that surrounds Zhongshan Mountain.

If you have enough time, you can choose to walk. Zhongshan is now in the midst of autumn, with the fragrance of osmanthus filling the air. You can enjoy the scenery here.

The magnificent scenery is so magnificent that Sun Yat-sen thought that the feng shui here was good when he visited Zhongshan in 1912, and said, "It would be great if I could be buried in Zhongshan in the future." Because he mentioned in "The Strategy of Founding a Nation" that "(Nanjing) has high mountains, deep waters, and plains. These three natural creations are concentrated in one place. It is really hard to find such a beautiful place in a metropolis in the world."

You need your ID card to make an appointment on the official website. And you can't enter the park after the appointment time expires. As soon as 8:00 arrived, I saw the stele pavilion after entering. The tombstone reads "The Kuomintang buried Mr. Sun here". The tombstone we see now is carved from another piece of granite. It took more than 40 days to transport it from the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, which was very difficult. After passing the stele pavilion, you will reach the stone steps. This stone step connects the memorial archway, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion, and sacrificial hall together, and it forms a solemn and majestic "warning bell shape" overall from a bird's eye view. The angle of this stone step is very clever. Looking up from the bottom, you can only see the platform, not the steps.

The style of the memorial hall is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The words "nation", "people's livelihood" and "civil rights" are engraved on the lintel. The four characters "heaven and earth are righteous" are handwritten by the Prime Minister on the middle door. In the center of the memorial hall is a seated statue of Sun Yat-sen, holding a long scroll with a deep gaze. There are also bronze tripods on both sides of the memorial hall, adding to the solemn atmosphere.

On the platform of the stone steps, there are staff members of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum who take photos for tourists for free. They can take 2-inch photos for free after going down the stone steps, or they can choose to buy an enlarged version of the photo for 20 yuan. The guy has good camera skills, and the three of us bought them as a souvenir.

It happened to be the Double Ninth Festival. Early in the morning, I was already sweating and panting after climbing to the top of the mountain. My friend only said one sentence: September 9, it is even better to climb high. Standing at a high place and looking down, it is indeed quite spectacular.

Complaint: Logically speaking, if you buy a package ticket, there should be no additional charge for the sightseeing bus in the scenic area, but the sightseeing bus here requires an additional ticket every time you take it.

Key points: You need to make an appointment in advance to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum on WeChat. Follow "Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area" on WeChat, there is a "Appointment" option, select "Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Appointment", and the specific date and time. If you do not enter the park within the appointment time, you will need to make a new appointment.

I rented an audio guide and learned about the life and deeds of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Later, the features of the building were also explained.

The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Construction began in the spring of 1926 and was completed in the summer of 1929. There is no entrance fee to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. During the Qingming Festival, many people come to visit the mausoleum, but there should not be so many people at other times.

From the Boai Arch through the tomb passage, mausoleum gate, stone steps, stele pavilion, to the sacrificial hall and tomb chamber.

There are 392 stone steps and eight platforms leading up to the sacrificial hall from the archway. The designer cleverly divided the 392 stone steps into 10 sections. Looking up from the bottom, you can only see the steps but no platforms; but looking down from the top, you can only see the platforms but no steps.

It should be noted that Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is free. If you want to go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, you must make an appointment in advance according to the time period. Follow the official account of Zhongshan Scenic Area, where you can make an appointment and fill in your ID number. When the time comes, you can directly swipe your ID card to enter the park without the need to pick up a ticket.

Arriving at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, there were suddenly many people. To reach the memorial hall, you need to walk up a long staircase. Standing on the steps, I looked at the six big characters of the Three Principles of the People on the memorial hall in the distance, and my heart was filled with mixed feelings.

I made an appointment for the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum from 8 to 10 o'clock, thinking of avoiding the crowds. You can buy a guide in the WeChat applet, 10 yuan per attraction. In order not to disturb Mr. Sun Yat-sen, his tomb is not open on holidays. It takes about an hour to climb to the top of the mountain with the guide. Be sure to listen to the guide! You can also learn about the life of architect Mr. Lu Yanzhi. The music stand, hmmm, if it weren't for the package ticket, I might not have gone in. I went in to feed the pigeons and then rushed to the Linggu Scenic Area.

We bought a package ticket, which allowed us to enter all four attractions, except for the Ocean World, which required a separate ticket. Later we found out that the most worthwhile attraction, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, was free, and the others were not worth seeing.

The queue for tickets took at least ten minutes. I suggest you buy them online first.

I didn't want to walk so I bought a package ticket for this sightseeing bus. It cost 50 yuan for unlimited rides and 10 yuan per trip. Later I found that others took a trip to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and then walked down. I felt that a single ride was more cost-effective.

Because there were so many people that day and we had to queue up for the sightseeing bus, we made an appointment at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in advance while waiting. This must be booked, otherwise you can't get in. It is best to make an appointment one day in advance to avoid being out of places.

We followed the tour bus to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which was the attraction I was most looking forward to. We had already made an online reservation in advance, so we could go in directly.

The entire Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum embodies the thoughts and spirit of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, such as the "universal love" written on the first stone gate, "the world belongs to all" written on the second stone gate, and the 392 steps symbolizing the difficult revolutionary road. Everywhere reflects the designer's intentions and the greatness of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

I heard that Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum was closed for eight years before it was reopened. As soon as I entered, I felt a sense of solemnity and everyone fell silent.

The mausoleum is a closed space. You will feel depressed when you enter it. You can really see a stone coffin. The coffin cover is not an ordinary straight board. It really has the image of Mr. Sun Yat-sen carved out. It is not flat, but 3D. It feels very shocking.

By the way, you can take photos for free on the way to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and then you can exchange the receipt for a keychain. But it’s actually a trick. When you exchange the keychain, they will encourage you to buy an enlarged photo as a souvenir photo, which costs ten yuan, but the quality doesn’t look very good.
