Song Qingling's Former Residence is more interesting as a garden than a museum, but the displays on her life inside this grand estate are a fascinating look at the life of a Communist Party 'aristocrat' in the early days of the People's Republic. Educated in the US, Song married Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, and she herself became vice-president of the People's Republic of China. Her sister May-ling married Jiang Jieshi, who is better known in the West as Chiang Kai-shek. The displays include the pistol Sun Yat-sen gave her as a wedding present. Your kids will enjoy clambering on the rocks, looking at the pigeons and playing on the swings. RMB 20, RMB 10 (university students), RMB 5 (middle and primary school students)
