上海宋庆龄故居
Soong Ching-ling was Sun Yat-sen's wife and a significant political figure in her own right.
Like her father, brothers and sisters, she went to an American university (Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia), spoke excellent English, and was deeply involved in Kuomintang politics prior to the Kuomintang defeat in 1949. She negotiated Chiang Kai Shek's release when he was locked up during the Xi'an Incident. Unlike her siblings (a sister married Chiang Kai Shek, and both all three brothers and the other sister's husband were high-ranking officials in his government), she remained in mainland China and worked with Mao's government after 1949. Much state business took place at the residence.
Today the house is a museum with many artifacts and photos. The grounds are very well maintained and there's a garage with a few formerly state-used cars as well. Gift shop.
