Beside it the memorial museum, rebuilt in 1999, covers his life and family, and restored village houses and fields show the world of his childhood. The 5A area also takes in the rest of Cuiheng village, the Zhongshan Film and TV City, a Xinhai Revolution memorial park and Litoujian hill with the Sun family graves.
