An interesting attraction along Avenida de Sidónio Pais at the Rua Silva Mendes turnoff of is Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial House (free entry). Here you can learn local history related to the Founder of the Republic of China within an architecturally interesting property. Opening hours are 10am to 5pm (closed on Tuesdays). The property was built for Sun Yat-Sen's first wife in 1912 and is an eclectic building taking elements of various European architecture. The exterior is peculiar if nothing else. The interior is more traditional with wooden floors, a courtyard and a very nice staircase. Within the property, you'll find probably 8-9 rooms you can enter, each with history about the life of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen and his time in Macau. Several rooms are furnished with period furniture. You'll also find a bronze statue of this important historical figure to the right side of the Memorial House. In the end, this is more a place to visit for history buffs and those with an inkling and interest in architecture for which this building is one of the most interesting historical properties to view in Macau.…

The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial House is an interesting attraction on Rua Silva Mendes near Flora Garden. This is where Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, who is considered the founder of the Republic of China, lived during his time in Macau. Here you find an interesting building which combines various forms of European architecture. Within the house there are several rooms set up with exhibitions regarding the life and political history of Sun Yat-Sen. There is a bronze statue of the of the late political leader outside the building as well. You can have a quick look-see of the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial House on your way to/from nearby Tap Seac Square, Lou Lim Ioc Garden and Flora Garden.…

Very interesting exhibit and well-kept historical house. Informative enough and yet you're allowed to simply take it in peacefully.

I have been to similar Sun Yat Sen museums in different places around the world and quite frankly, it isn't terribly exciting but might be fascinating to someone who is into Chinese history. But the main thing is that it is free and you can easily combine this with the nearby Lou Lim Ieoc Garden and a quick free stroll here doesn't hurt.…
