During the Republic of China, there were two old and new cultural relics in the former site of Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen University Observatory. The old observatory is located at Yuexiu Middle Road 125, Guangzhou. Xintianwentai is located in Shipai South China University of Technology. 1926, Department of Mathematical Astronomy, Sun Yat-sen University, Yuexiu Road was established. In February of the following year, the Observatory was built on Yuexiu Road, and it was completed in June of 1929. The main instruments are French astronomical standard clock, 1.5cm caliber meridian instrument, 20cm reflecting telescope, 1 German equatorial observatory, and various meteorological instruments. This observatory not only provides astronomical teaching and research, but also undertakes some national astronomical observation work. At that time, most of the world-famous observatories were above 40 degrees north latitude, and this observatory was located at more than 20 degrees north latitude, which could observe the sky from different angles and played an important role in astronomical science and teaching. The ground part of the Observatory is a rectangular two-story building with a north-south direction and dozens of steps on the front. The east side of the building is a three-story building with a hexagonal tower and the underground part is a cellar. 1In the autumn of 935, the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy of Sun Yat-sen University moved to Shipai new teaching building and built a new observatory in the new campus. 1938 was completed. It is four times the area of the old platform and looks like an old European castle. When you board it, you can overlook the whole school. 1946 officially used. After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the organization of 1953 was adjusted, and Sun Yat-sen University moved to Lekang, Henan. The old and new observatories are still preserved.
June 1989 Guangdong Provincial People's Government announced it as a cultural relic protection unit.
