Guangzhou Attractions｜Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall

#Guangzhou Attractions The Guangzhou Memorial Hall is octagonal in shape, with a roof covered with blue glazed tiles. Its style is similar to that of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, and both are solemn and majestic. Hanging high above the door are the four characters "天下为公", written by Dr. Sun Yat-sen himself, which sparkles brightly. In front of the memorial hall, a bronze statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen stands tall. Today, the main body of the memorial hall has been transformed into a concert hall, where concerts, performances, stage plays and other artistic feasts are often held. The exterior of the building incorporates the beauty of a Chinese octagonal spire, while the interior adopts a Western Byzantine dome design, combining Chinese and Western styles in a unique and ingenious way. The hall is vast, more than 40 meters high and 70 meters wide. There is no pillar in the center, and the view is unobstructed, which is breathtaking. In addition, there is a photo exhibition of Sun Yat-sen's life and deeds around the concert hall, allowing the audience to enjoy art while gaining a deeper understanding of the great achievements of this great pioneer. 📍Address: No. 259, Dongfeng Middle Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou 🚇Public transportation: Line 2, "Memorial Hall" Station, Exit D2, walk 70 meters 🎫Tickets: 10 RMB for the performance hall, free for the Memorial Hall Park 🕒Opening hours: Park 6:00-20:00; Performances: 9:00-17:30
