Check in at the ancestral home of celebrities and learn about the glory of China's most prominent Soong family
The Song family ancestral home is located in Guluyuan Village, Changsha Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province. The home is shaded by green trees and is naturally quiet. It is where Song Yaoru, the founder of the Song family, was born and lived as a teenager.
The Soong family is one of the most prominent families in modern Chinese history. From the mid-to-late 19th century to the 20th century, during the period of drastic changes in Chinese society, members of the Soong family played many important roles and profoundly influenced the course of Chinese history. The founder of the Republic of China and provisional president Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of the democratic revolution Song Yaoru, the honorary president of the People's Republic of China Song Qingling, the president of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek, the president of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, etc., are all members of this prominent family.
