Zhongshan Warship Museum
中山舰博物馆
A themed museum in Jinkou, Jiangxia, displaying the original Zhongshan warship, raised from the Yangtze in 1997. It bears witness to Sun Yat-sen's protection campaign and to the War of Resistance.
The Zhongshan Warship Museum is located in Jinkou Subdistrict, Jiangxia District. The Zhongshan warship was originally named Yongfeng. In 1922, Sun Yat-sen took refuge on board and directed the suppression of a rebellion there, which made the ship famous. In 1938, it was sunk by Japanese aircraft in the Yangtze near Jinkou, and it was raised from the water in 1997. The museum's main exhibit is the restored original ship, where visitors can look up close at the hull and bullet holes. Inside, exhibits cover the ship's history, artifacts and materials from the War of Resistance. Admission is free with advance reservation; closed on Mondays. About 40 km from downtown, or about 1 hour by car.
