Why it is worth the detour

The museum occupies the former offices of the agricultural and industrial school that He Xiangning established as a living memorial to her assassinated husband. Its story is less a static tribute than a widow's political response: she converted grief into a school meant to train a new generation for national reconstruction.

In 1925 striking workers transformed a former admiral's garden into the headquarters of the Canton–Hong Kong general strike, erecting simple bamboo and palm shelters across the grounds.
