Day 2: Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Ming Xiaoling Tomb
Today, explore the imperial and republican heritage of Nanjing. Start with a visit to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, dedicated to the "Father of Modern China" and a must-see for every visitor to Nanjing. Explore Meiling Palace, a picturesque villa once home to the Chiang Kai-shek family during the Republic of China era (1932-1947).
