Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Travel Guide
#Mainland Travel
The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is built on the site of the Guangzhou Generalissimo's Mansion. It was formerly the Guangdong Cement Factory (cement factory) built in 1906. The building combines Italian classical style with Lingnan characteristics, such as vase-style guardrails, shuttered doors and windows, and bamboo-shaped drainage pipe decorations. It is a historical witness to Sun Yat-sen's two establishments of revolutionary regimes (1917 and 1923). This place is not only the base camp of the Protection of Law Movement, but also the key place for the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national first-class museum.
