Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling


The house of widow to Sun Yat-sen is a place to learn about the relatively recent history of China. The place itself is a well kept mansion and you can totally feel the importance that this person had for the development of modern China. On the other hand it is a (although large) house of an older woman and reminded me of the feeling I get whenever I enter the house of my grandmother.

Most of the signs in this place were available in Chinese only. But with the help of my little smart phone I was able to simultaneously translate between Chinese and english in an instant. A praise to the modern.

Soong Ching Ling for sure was a very strong person. Remarkable story and interesting to expand my horizon about this country that I instantly fell in love with.
