- The tomb of Mr. Sun Yat-sen is located in Zhongshan Scenic Area, and the burial site is in the shape of a "warning bell". It is the first tomb in modern Chinese architectural history and is well worth a visit.
- Climbing to the top of Zhongshan Tomb requires ascending many steps, but there are platforms to rest on every few steps, making the design quite ingenious. It's worth taking note of.
- Within the scenic area, there are several commemorative buildings such as a music pavilion, Xingjian Pavilion, Guanghua Pavilion, Liu Hui Pavilion, and a scripture tower, which are all worth visiting.
- Visiting the tomb requires the advance booking of entrance time. It is recommended to book tickets at least one day in advance, or to purchase package tickets for convenience in touring. There are also sightseeing vehicles available in the scenic area.
