Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, Nanjing, China

Then we went to Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum. Sun Yat-sen was a Han Chinese doctor, revolutionary and political leader. Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty during the Xinhai Revolution and became the first provisional president when the Republic of China was formed 1912. Sun was a uniting figure in post-Imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered amongst the people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

There were over 392 steps to the top. Which was cake compared to what we climbed the next week.
