The Museum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen is located in Cuiheng Village, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, which is the hometown of Sun Yat-sen. Nestled among mountains to the south, north, and west, it faces the Pearl River estuary to the east. Located 20 kilometers from downtown Zhongshan, 90 kilometers from Guangzhou's urban area, and 30 kilometers from Macao, it lies along the western side of the Pearl River's mouth, directly opposite Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, formerly the Sun Yat-sen Former Residence Exhibition Hall, was rebuilt in 1996 and opened to the public on November 12, 1999.
