Traveler reviews
Wakaka Nam
★★★★★8 months agoMust-see museum located in a stunning Edwardian building. Don’t be deterred by the lack of uploaded pictures; photography isn't allowed inside, but the exhibits are full of fascinating old photos and artifacts from Dr. Sun's personal and political life. It's a treasure for history buffs, and best of all, entry is free!
