Each room tells a storey of courage, ambition, and the deep connections between homeland and diaspora, offering a truly emotional and educational experience.
Next, stroll through Zhongshan Park, a traditional Lingnan-style urban oasis named after Sun Yat-sen, a hero of China’s republican revolution.

This tranquil stop offers a moment of calm reflection, connecting visitors to Jiangmen’s civic pride and cultural memory, while providing picturesque photography opportunities.

Enjoy lunch at your leisure, sampling Cantonese specialities such as Chenpi roast duck, beef noodles, or traditional sweet soups, fully immersing yourself in local flavours.
Step into the ancestral home of Liang Qichao (1873–1929), one of China’s most influential reformers. This beautifully preserved Lingnan courtyard house is now a museum featuring his manuscripts, family photographs, and exhibits on his political and educational ideals. Walking through the halls and courtyards, visitors gain a deep understanding of China’s intellectual and revolutionary history, making this a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
