Check in at the former site of the Observatory of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou

#guangzhouattractions The Observatory of Sun Yat-sen University (referred to as the Observatory of Sun Yat-sen University) is located near the Guangzhou Performance and Film Company on Yuexiu Middle Road and was founded in February 1927. It is a key protected cultural relic unit in Guangdong Province, and the Guangdong Science and Technology News is stationed here. The Observatory of Sun Yat-sen University is the earliest observatory in Guangdong and the second in China after the Xujiahui Observatory in Shanghai. The observatory is built on the mountain and is three stories high. The main building has a basement and two floors above ground. There is a folding staircase on the east side of the main building that leads up to a three-story, octagonal astronomical observation studio. The original circular roof of the three-story staircase has been transformed into a flat roof, and additional floors have been added. Since most of the world-famous observatories at that time were located above 40 degrees north latitude, this observatory was located at more than 20 degrees north latitude. It could observe celestial phenomena from a different angle than other world-famous observatories. Therefore, it played an important role in astronomical science and teaching. , therefore it has attracted the attention of the international astronomical community. A three-story yellow building (two floors above ground and one underground) built against the mountain. It is artistic and retro, with a maximum film production rate. Friends who like to sweep the streets can add this small yellow building to your check-in list. Detailed address: Courtyard No. 125, Yuexiu Middle Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City
