Sun Yat-sen University, Public research university in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China.
Sun Yat-sen University is a public research institution with sites in Guangzhou, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen. The main grounds in Haizhu District blend green spaces with modern faculty buildings where lecture halls, laboratories, and reading rooms define daily routines.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen founded the institution in 1924 under the name Guangdong University. The school later absorbed parts of Lingnan University, which had existed in the southern area since the late 19th century.
The university maintains a network of five libraries containing more than 10 million resources, including the Hilles Collection donated by Harvard College Library in 2005.
Visitors can walk through main pathways and view public areas such as courtyards or reading zones when respecting house rules. The Haizhu campus is reachable by metro and bus, while other sites lie farther from the city center.
One library collection holds a donation from Harvard College Library given in 2005. This set complements local holdings and shows the institution's international ties in academic resources.
