Located at Donfengzhong road near to the southern slope of Yuexiu Mountain, The Zhongshan Memorial Halt is one of the most important and fascinating cultural relics in Guangdong Province. During the Qing Dynasty, this building was used as a Training Center. It subsequently acted as an inspector institute after the Xinhai Revolution. When he assumed the Presidency in 1922 Mr Sun Yat-sen set up his presidential palace on the site. In June of that same year, the palace was leveled by a rebellious warlord called Chen Jiongming. When Sun Yat-sen died of an illness in Beijing in 1925, the people of Guangzhou commemorated his great contribution to China's history by building a memorial hall on the site of the old presidential palace. The memorial hall was designed by legendary Chinese architect Mr. Lu Yanzhen. Construction on the project started in 1929 and was completed in October,1931.
