Campaigners urge free entry to Dr Sun Yat-sen site

SHANGHAI: A campaign is gaining momentum that calls for a famous scenic spot in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, to be opened up to the public for free because of its historical and cultural significance.

Historians and locals are asking government departments why they must pay to access the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Sun was one of China's most famous political leaders in the 20th century and the first provisional president after the Republic of China (ROC) was founded in 1912.
