Sun Yat-sen Museum by socrates_07
The Sun Yat-sen Museum is located in the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Scenic Spot and was originally a Buddhist Library. It's a Chinese traditional classical architecture and completed in 1936. Most of the buildings were destroyed during the war and since 1982 it has been renovated as the Sun Yat-sen Museum.Situated in the pine forest and encircled by the streams, the Museum is composed with the main building, monk's room and the table corridor. You will find its a place very quiet place. At least when I was there. (ok, I went there short time before they closed it so I was the only one on the way to the Museum and inside it as well).
Works and documents written by and about Dr. Sun Yat-sen and many photographs about the burial ceremony and other valuable historical materials are collected and exhibited in the museum.
The bonze statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen is situated in front of the museum. It's a gift presented by Dr.Sun Yat-sen's Japanese friend Umeya Shokinchi in 1929.
