Nanjing

The big attraction here is Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's Mausoleum in Zhongshanlin. This guy led the revolution against the last emperor of China in the Qing dynasty and founded the Republic of China (R.O.C.) in 1911. He's a pretty big deal in both Taiwan & China and this place was his old hunting grounds and where he asked to be buried. (My sister's place in Taipei is a 10-minute walk from his memorial).
