About Sun Yat-sen Memorial

The blue roof grabs your attention first; then come the red columns and the octagonal design. The memorial honors Sun Yat-sen on the grounds of his former presidential headquarters. Residents of the city and overseas Chinese communities financed its construction.

Behind the traditional look, steel and reinforced concrete create a large hall. The place also hosts events and performances, so the visit depends on available access; view the facade from a distance before looking for the details.
