Life saving operation
Mar 2019 • Family
Of my over 45,000 Contributions to TripAdvisor, this is the most personal. I am a guest teacher at Sun Yat-sen University. On this visit to Guangzhou, a son of mine was rushed to The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. This is a teaching hospital, with the best doctors in Southern China. Through a very good Professor friend, my son's case was brought to the attention of a Vice-President of Sun Yat-sen University, who also is the President of the teaching hospital. The best doctors were assigned to my son's case, and a life-saving operation was performed om his heart. My most sincere thank you to The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Foreigners are treated with great care at this university hospital.

Beautiful university, with five or more campuses
Aug 2019
This is the best university in Guangdong Province. I often visit to meet with a few university professor friends. Mostly, I go to the campus by the Pearl River. Nice wide open spaces, tight security at the main entrance. I like the statues in front of the Law School.

Huge Campus, Nice for a Walk
Jan 2018 • Couples
My bf studied at this university many years ago so he wanted to show me where he studied. It's a huge campus, nice place to take a walk/stroll even if you are not studying here. Nothing special just for a stroll.

All okay except for the toilet, it's disgusting and there are not lights (a little dark). Every cubicle is filthy and some filled with poop (on the floor) and it's a squatting toilet. Seriously they are so blind that they don't know to aim into the toilet. Not sure if it's done by students or visitors but they should really be more respectful of the toilet provided and not take a dump like an animal.

Worth a visit. Quite historic
Aug 2018 • Couples
The Sun Yat-Sen University is one of the most famous Universities in China. The campus is nice and quite lush green. Lots of trees and the building is quite historic. You can easily spend a few hours here admiring the architecture, if that pleases you or just visit to relax in its outdoor space.

Beautiful campus in South Guangzhou
Mar 2018 • Family
It used to be Lingnan University's campus. After 1949, Lingnan University merged into other colleges/universities to become Sun Yat-sen University. Although in the past decades, there are a lot of new buildings added in, this campus still maintains most of its traditional buildings in Chinese+Western/Christian style. Back to late 1990's, the university restored an ancient memorial arch (牌坊) in the campus.
