NanJing 1 - Sun-Yat-Sen's Mausoleum

Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, a revolutionist during the Late Qing Dynasty. After the reform, he was named the temporary president of China for a very short period before he gave up the post to Yuan-Shi-Kai and return to be an ordinary doctor. A very legendary man who fight for the freedom of his beloved country and never asked for any repay. And so after he passed away, the Kuo-Min-Tang government built this mausoleum for him in NanJing.

Even the communist President Mao respected him and named him as the pioneer of liberation and revolution. They never tempt his Mausoleum after gaining power even though having different political view. So, its kinda weird to see all those democracy ideology in the biggest communist country in the world.

A very huge scenic area, and we just visit selectively

Already 5000++ in the mausoleum

zzzz....hate the crowd~

Its so crowded that you can't even move freely~

Here is the Mausoleum of the late President Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen

The Tombstone was quite far away from the main building though~

Yeap, you have to climb all the way up to see the main building of the Mausoleum.....

A significant historic relics during the World War Two.... This copper tripod was blasted by the Japanese~

They said NanJing people has irreconcilable relationship with the Japs~ 

Why? More than 100 000 civilians were killed in a massacre!

National, livelihood, and Civil rights（三民主义）~ Thats the basic of Dr. Sun's ideology of democracy in China. Quite an irony to be seen in a communist country though~ ha!

Look at the crowd!!!!

No camera beyond this point~ Behind the statue is the tomb~

So we went in and round the statue as a respect to this great revolutionist in human history.
