Zhongshan Ling- Dr. Sun Yat Sen
On the foot of Zijin Shan, this monumental shrine blends majestic imperial and modern architecture against a mesmerizing scenic backdrop.
The father of modern China, Dr. Sun Yat Sen played an integral role in the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. A charismatic personality, he was honored by a state monument after his passing. Climb the tiered steps bordered by fragrant cypress, pine, and gingko trees to reach the vault. Pass beneath the tri-arched gate carved from marble, and you'll see the pavilion with its 9-meter Kuomintang memorial and the hall flanked by decorative huabiao columns followed by the vault further up the steps. Step into the hall with its ceiling painted with the Flag of the Republic of China, statue of Sun Yat Sen, and the Three Principles of the People inscribed above the doorway. The hemispherical tomb is situated to the north of the hall, with an Italian marble statue lying atop the sarcophagus that holds the remains of one of the nation's great leaders.

Librairie Avant-Garde
Once an underground bunker, now a bookshop, this store is a literary hub that invites bibliophiles to linger within its book-lined walls.
This space today little resembles its origins as a bunker and parking lot, except for its sunken entrance. The vast store seems more like a reading library than a bookshop, with communal tables, comfortable chairs, and aisles filled with books of every genre, though humanities and social sciences are the specialty. Students from the neighboring Nanjing University, book lovers, and tourists flock here for an afternoon of leisurely reading, research, or simply to explore this one-of-a-kind shop. A cultural landmark, this shop stands out for its indie vibe and unique decor highlighted by a checkout counter crafted from over a thousand old books, a replica of Rodin's "The Thinker," and a simple black cross mounted on a wall, a reflection of the owner's personal faith. You'll also find local art and exhibits here, as well as a cheery coffee shop. More than a bookstore, at Librairie Avant-Garde, reading is a religion, and a must-visit for every book savant.
