As chinese, we have no excuse not to respect our “national father” Dr. Sun-Yat-sen--the revolutional forthgoer of China. This is why Dr. Sun-Yat-sen's Mausoleum is worth to visit. The scenery of Dr. Sun-Yat-sen's Mausoleum is also very beautiful as the natural green trees surround it. Ther are 392 steps in Dr. Sun-Yat-sen's Mausoleum and the unique design of the step lies on: from the Stele Kiosk, you can not see the plane but the step: from the sacred hall you can not see the step but the plane. Climb up the step you may feel tired but it is worth. The best season to visit is summer. And you can see the panorama of Nanjing at the top of Dr. Sun-Yat-sen's Mausoleum.

It seems that this attraction deserves a concentration on it. I am unable to support the money to travel now, but I will go there to have a look at the grand mausoleum by myself.
