When you come to Guangzhou, besides the "Little Waist" and morning tea, there is a place where you can instantly escape the hustle and bustle—Sun Yat-sen University South Campus. The red bricks and green tiles here are not just a university but a living museum of historical architecture.
Strolling guide:
Starting from the west gate, nearly century-old palm trees on both sides form a green tunnel. Huaishi Hall, Black Stone House, Martin Hall... every red brick building hides a story, and every snapshot captures the charm of the Republic of China era.
Walk north along the central axis to the lawn in front of the Small Auditorium. This is a classic spot for Sun Yat-sen University students' graduation photos and the best place for visitors to rest. Sitting on the lawn, watching sunlight filter through ancient trees casting dappled shadows, you can feel the tranquility and gravity of this academic sanctuary.
Tips: Take Metro Line 8 to Zhongda Station and exit from Exit A to reach the campus. The campus is open to the public for free; please keep quiet and do not disturb the students' study.
The beauty of Sun Yat-sen University lies in its depth. Here, you can touch the warmth of history and feel the solemnity of scholarship. This "corridor of time" hidden in the city center is waiting for you to explore.
