Soong Ching-ling Memorial Park

The Soong Ching Ling Memorial Hall is located in Changning District, Shanghai. Visitors entering the hall from the entrance at No. 21 Songyuan Road need to put on disposable shoe covers before entering. The Soong Ching Ling Memorial Hall is built at the east end of the main road, and the exhibition hall of Soong Ching Ling's life and deeds is at the end of the main road. The entire courtyard is densely covered with vegetation and filled with a solemn atmosphere.

I brought my children here to participate in the Maitao activity. It's free. I walked around the garden by myself. There are 2 exhibition halls. There are very few people. Like other cemeteries, there are a lot of greenery. There are also pigeons here. You can bring a bag of rice for your children to feed the pigeons.

The National Day on October 1st coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival. The monthly patriotic education flag-raising ceremony in Changning District was held at the Soong Ching Ling Mausoleum. When I arrived at 9:30, I saw a sea of ​​people. The entire flag-raising ceremony lasted about half an hour.

The Soong Ching Ling Mausoleum is located at No. 53, Songyuan Road, Changning District, Shanghai. It is only more than 200 meters away from Exit 2 of Songyuan Road Station on Metro Line 10. There are also bus stops such as 72, 113, 836, and 855 nearby, and public transportation is very convenient. Entering the gate of the mausoleum, there is a wide green space in front of you, which brings a cool breeze in the hot July. There is the Soong Ching Ling Memorial Hall in the mausoleum, which displays the life of Mr. Soong Ching Ling. The exhibition of Ming history is awe-inspiring. The Soong Ching Ling Mausoleum was originally the site of the International Cemetery. In addition to the Soong family cemetery, there are also cemeteries of international friends such as Uchiyama Kanzo, as well as the cemeteries of modern and contemporary celebrities such as Yang Xingfo, Zhang Leping, Zhou Xinfang, Sun Daolin, and Chen Yifei, for people to pay tribute to and remember.

Strolling in Shanghai, Song Qingling Mausoleum In addition to the foreign cemetery, the main part of the mausoleum is the Song Qingling Memorial Hall and the joint tomb of Song Qingling and her parents. In addition, there is also a celebrity cemetery. The various tombstone designs make people amazed and naturally relax and calm down. Chinese people have many taboos about cemeteries, but they don’t have to. Most of the celebrities buried here are literary and artistic workers, such as Zhou Xinfang, Sun Daolin, Zhang Leping, Chen Yifei, etc. There are also scientists and generals, such as Xie Jinyuan. Song Qingling had no children in her life. In addition to founding the China Welfare Foundation to raise children, her biggest hobby was raising pigeons. There is also a pigeon shed in a corner of the mausoleum, mostly white pigeons. They are released regularly on weekdays, adding a lot of vitality to the quiet and solemn mausoleum, and it is also a major feature of the mausoleum.

I passed by the entrance several times but never came in. The last time I came here was probably when I was still in junior high school. This cemetery is now located in a downtown area, but it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. There is also an exhibition hall inside that tells the life of Soong Ching Ling. Unfortunately, I didn't meet a tour guide.

I don't know much about this great man. Today I visited and felt the same. I learned about Ms. Song Qingling's life and her great contribution to the country.
