Why it is worth the detour
This monument and surviving hospital buildings commemorate the place where Sun Yat-sen began studying Western medicine in Guangzhou. The protected site's official name also identifies the hospital as a seedbed of his early revolutionary activity, joining the future physician and political revolutionary in one compact campus.

Former Site of the First National Congress of the Kuomintang
Sun Yat-sen convened the Kuomintang's transformative 1924 congress inside this clock-towered school building, formalizing cooperation with Chinese Communists and the policies of alliance with Soviet Russia and support for workers and peasants.
