Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, a key historical relic protected by Guangdong Province, is a memorial building built with the funds raised by the Guangzhou people and overseas Chinese in memory of Sun Yat-sen, the great revolutionary forerunner. Located in the original site of the then Sun Yat-sen"s Presidential Office, it was designed by Mr. Lu Yanzhi, the great architect of the country. Construction work started in 1929 and finished in 1931.

Sun Yat-sen was born on November 12, 1866 at Cuiheng Village of Guangdong province. He was the forerunner of China"s revolution against the Qing government. In August 1905, he formulated the Three Principles of the People - nationalism, democracy, and social well-being. He believed they were the guidelines for building a modern China, and he contributed his whole life into this great task.

Completed in October 1983, the memorial hall, occupying an area of 12,000 square meters has magnificent exterior and elegant interior decorations. The whole building, octagonal in shape, is designed with typical Chinese architectural style. In 1956, a 5-meter- high bronze statue of Dr Sun was erected in front of the hall. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is the most symbolized building of Guangzhou, and a key venue for the city"s large-scale meetings and performances.
