My postcrossing mood has been a bit down! I've been getting just a few cards, only 2 or 3 times a week, (I used to get cards everyday and lots of them) and my send cards keep travelling for several weeks. The normal average time travel for Central Europe used to be 3 or 4 days and now it takes almost 2 months!! Really!!! I really don't undersant what is happening in the mail word but it is certainly ruining my joy about getting and sending cards :(
The mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who is considered the Father of the Republic
of China and the forerunner of the Chinese Revolution, is located at the
southern foot of Purple Mountain in Nanjing, bordering Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum
to the west and Linggu Temple to the east. The construction of this mausoleum
began in January 1926 and was completed in the spring of 1929. In 1961, Dr. Sun
Yat-sen’s Mausoleum was included on the list of National key Cultural Relics
Protection Units.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum covers an area of 80,000
square meters. The main buildings were built on one central axis, along which
the mausoleum rises gradually and squarely: marble dolmen, the pavilion,
sacrificial hall and coffin chamber will come into view one by one, and
perfectly demonstrate traditional Chinese architectural styles. Dr. Sun
Yat-sen’s Mausoleum faces south. Looking down from the air, it seems to resemble
an alarm bell.
Besides these, many other memorial buildings around the
mausoleum were also built in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and have great artistic
merit. - in: http://www.chinatouronline.com/china-travel/nanjing/nanjing-attractions/Dr.-Sun-Yat-sen's-Mausoleum_591.html
