中山陵
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum forms a formal axis along the Zhongshan Mountain through archways, tomb passages, wide steps and sacrificial halls. Built during the Republic of China, it combines modern public memorial architecture with traditional Chinese forms; the long ascent, scale changes, and views back to Nanjing together constitute a preset ritual process.

You can take the subway and then transfer to the scenic area connection, or walk from the designated gate area. Private car access is limited and queues may be longer during peak hours.
Practical notes
Bring ID for your appointment, expect lots of steps and dress respectfully. Heat and thunderstorms will make it uncomfortable to climb the steps at noon, so you should check the opening and capacity restrictions of the worship hall on that day.
