While he’s not as (in)famous outside of China as Chairman Mao, Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s role in forming both modern China and modern Taiwan cannot be overstated.
A political revolutionary revered on both sides of the Taiwan Strait for his role in introducing democracy (such as it is) to both Chinas, Sun Yat Sen’s life was one of constant struggle and turmoil.
For those wishing to pay their respects for the unique political figure, his mausoleum can be visited at Purple Mountain in Nanjing.
An impressive construction in its own right, the Mausoleum’s proximity to other Purple Mountain attractions such as the original Ming Tomb and the nearby parklands makes it a perfect day trip from the city.

The atrocities committed by Japan in Asia both before and during World War II are often glossed over in the west, but China very much remembers the nefarious acts of their would-be conquerors.
The Rape of Nanking was a nightmarish period of six weeks in which the Japanese perpetuated mass rape and mass murder against the population of the former Chinese capital. Between 50,000 and 300,000 people lost their lives during the occupation.
Today, the city remembers the darkest period in its history at the Nanjing Massacre Memorial. Part museum and part somber memorial, it stands as a haunting reminder of the very worst of mankind.

Electricity
If you are planning on using a foreign electrical device in China you may need a plug-in adaptor and a voltage converter.

Electrical Outlets

In China, electrical outlets come in several varieties. From left to right, the above outlets are suited for plugs with 2 parallel flat blades, 2 flat blades with 1 grounding flat blade (two varieties of these), two round pins with one round grounding pin and two round pins. It is common for outlets to provide a combination of several or even all of the above varieties.
You can bring an adaptor set with you or buy one in an electronics store in China. Just remember that an adaptor is only to match up the shape of your plugs. You must also give your electrical device the correct voltage.

Voltage
Electrical current in China is 220V and 50Hz AC. To choose the proper voltage converter first check the labelling of your electrical device(s) to find out the voltage and wattage. You need a voltage converter that can handle a higher or equal wattage than that of the device that it is to be used with. If you don’t know what the wattage is, use the following formula: Amps(A)*Voltage(V)=Watts. Some devices, such as TVs and monitors, require a surge when starting up. For these devices choose a voltage converter that has a wattage that is 20% higher than that of your device.
You could also bring your surge protector in order to protect sensitive and expensive items such as laptops against power surges.
There’s one more trick to mention. "220V" products from other countries will not always work in China because some "220V" products use 2 phase of 110V. Thus 220V products from USA or Canada will not work if you directly attach them to an electrical outlet in China.
