## About Sun Yat-sen University

Founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Sun Yat-sen University is, alongside Whampoa Military Academy as its "civil and military" counterpart, one of China's most beautiful campuses. The South Campus is its most picturesque part. Just outside the North Gate flows the Pearl River. If you have time, take a boat to Tianzi Pier on the opposite bank and experience the ferry crossing.
