The old residence of Sun Yat-sen is located in Cuiheng Village, Zhongshan City (originally Xiangshan County) in Guangdong Province.

Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), who was called Sun Wen in school and used the pen name Yixian, was a forerunner in the Democratic Revolution of China and interim president of the Republic of China after the Revolution of 1911. Born in 1866 in Cuiheng Village, Sun spent his early youth at the residence and later read, wrote, practiced medicine and conducted revolutionary activities there.

Facing west, the old residence is an umber, two-storied building that adopts the Chinese western style and covers an area of about 200 square meters. The structure was erected in 1892 in accordance with Sun's own designs. At the front of the old residence are seven ornamental arched doors located on each floor, and in the middle of the eaves is a decorative luminous ring and an eagle. Corridors run along both the upstairs and the downstairs, with side rooms and living rooms located in the center; Sun's study and bedroom are located upstairs. Originally there was a single-storied house in the north of the yard where Sun was born, but it was replaced by a well. A wild jujube tree that Sun brought when he returned from the Tanxiang Mountain in America stands in the south of the yard.

After the founding of new China, the government has undertaken two large-scale repairs on the old Residence. In 1956, the Memorial Hall of the Old Residence of Sun Yat-sen was set up with an exhibition room that tells visitors the tale of Sun Yat-sen's magnificent life.
