Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. Built in 1926 in honor of Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), (Father of Modern China). He led the rebellion against the corrupt Qing government resulting in the 1911 revolution which put and end the feudal system. In turn, the Republic of China was founded. The mausoleum is situated at the foot of the south face of Purple Mountain, and it has become a must-see tourist destination for all visitors to Nanjing. A long stone stairway of 392 steps leads up to the tomb which lies at the rear of the memorial chamber. If you came to Nanjing and never visited the splendid Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum, you only visited half of the city.
