About Former Residence of Sun Yat-sen
The two-storey grey house on Xiangshan Road (formerly Rue Molière) in the old French Concession where Sun Yat-sen lived with Soong Ching-ling from 1918 to 1924, after four overseas Chinese in Canada bought it for him; Soong stayed on until 1937. The ground-floor reception and dining rooms and the upstairs study and bedrooms are shown as a period home, and a neighbouring exhibition presents Sun's life with documents and objects.
