Sun Yat-Sen

Sunday was spent checking out two more tourist traps. The first was the tomb of a Western Han Nanyue King. It was a tomb found in Guangzhou of the second king of the Nanyue state. Unfortunately, there was no photography allowed. It was pretty cool, though. I actually got to walk thru the tomb, and see all the relics. Lots of jade. Jade, jade, jade.

The second locale was the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is regarded as the founder of modern China. I drive (okay, ride) past this everyday, and it looks neat from the outside.
The inside of the building is just a big theater. Nothing going on this day, however.
