孙中山大元帅府纪念馆
The former Generalissimo's Mansion of Sun Yat-sen on the south bank of the Pearl River. Its two well-preserved Western-style mansions with verandas display the history of Sun Yat-sen's three establishments of government in Guangzhou.
The Memorial Museum of Generalissimo Sun Yat-sen's Mansion is on Textile Road in Haizhu District. It was originally the office building of the Guangdong Portland Cement Factory at the end of the Qing dynasty. In 1917 and 1923, Sun Yat-sen established the Generalissimo's Mansion here. Two three-story colonial-style buildings with verandas, one north and one south, remain. The site has restored offices and bedrooms of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling, and it displays historical relics from the Protection of the Constitution Movement and the Grand Headquarters period. Entry is free. The museum is closed on Mondays and requires a reservation. Take Metro Line 6 to Haizhu Square Station or a bus. It can be visited after touring the old city on the north bank of the Pearl River, crossing the river.
