brief introduction

It is now a guest house, a student dormitory donated by a group of Lingnan University Alumni such as Mo gansheng and Lin Zhihao. It was completed in 1924. Later, it was named "Rongguang hall" in memory of Dr. Zhong Rongguang, the first Chinese President of Lingnan University. Rongguang hall was originally a four storey (including basement) building, and one floor was added in the 1970s.

Rebuild

After Henan Kangle was chosen as the permanent site of Lingnan University in 1904, most of the buildings were donated by Westerners in the early stage. Zhong Shi Rongguang believed that Chinese education should also be undertaken by Chinese people. Therefore, in the early years of the Republic of China, he called on overseas Chinese to donate money to build the school In 1924, it was completed and named Rongguang hall as a memorial. With the establishment of Lingnan (University) college and the rapid development of its studies, alumni and scholars have not been able to stay for a long time. In view of this, the board of directors proposed to rebuild Rongguang hall a year ago, and transformed it into a hotel to cooperate with Lingnan hall. The meeting was supported by the enthusiastic alumni. They were able to make full contributions to the meeting, so that they will be remembered forever. --Board of directors of Lingnan College, Sun Yat sen University

Comments on the restaurant of rongguangtang

Rongguangtang address: no.350, north gate, South Campus, Sun Yat sen University, No.135, Xingang West Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou. Reason for recommendation: at CUHK, rongguangtang is a model of the integration of Chinese and Western culture. It is a western restaurant in rongguangtang, which has a long history. It has a kind of classical flavor, and has a unique artistic conception, so it is rated as the third place. Rongguang hall is located on the main road, next to the first teaching building. In a lazy afternoon, if you drink coffee against the background of the secluded light inside and look at the scenery and pedestrians outside through the glass window, it's really a kind of enjoyment. The price of things here is higher, but the environment is so good that it is worth the fare (47 yuan per capita).
