A national monument, the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang
Memorial Hall tells a story of heroism, nationalism and armed
struggle of the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance in Southeast
Asia.
Formerly known as Wan Qing Yuan (which means 'a haven of
peace in the twilight years'), it was the headquarters of
the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance which raised support
throughout Southeast Asia for the revolution that ended
the Qing dynastic rule and heralded the start of modern
China.
The garden of this elegant colonial-style villa features
a number of sculptures. There is the stone stele measuring
3.5 metres tall and weighing 16,000 kilogrammes, the bronze
statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen and a 25-metre long bronze mural.
