Dr Sun Yat Sen memorial Park by taxi from hotel only yuan$70 and travelling time about 45 minutes. It is FOC and this is a must for tourists and it took us more than 4 hours to see all the CUIHENG village and DR Sun Yat memorial museum all inside the park.
The entrance to the memorail park, all tourists take phoot in front of these famous fours words (calligrahy) by the great Chinese revolutionary and political leader. He over throw Qing Dynasty in 1911 October and co-founder of Kuomington (KMT) and became formost pioneer of Republic of China.

Inside the memorial park, it is the Cuiheng village where there a re about 300 village houses since 1800 where Dr Sun Yat Sen stay and live here during his childhood days 1866 till went overseas for medicine in Hawaii and return as a DR. For all about his life visit www.sunyat-sen.org . I first visited this Cuiheng village in the early 1988 and then in 1996 again but there wasn't any memorial park as this size with well landscape garden etc. Some of the outer village houses make way for this memorial park and it is nw a beautiful open museum for tourists to spend the whole day if wanted to do so.
