South China Trip - End of the First Day

After the shopping detour (more like a pre-dinner stop-over) we the went over to the Sun Yet Sen Memorial Hall. This is an architectural masterpiece; built between 1929 and 1931; octagonal in shape with a 71m column-less span. An interesting aside in the building is the remarkable resemblance between or tour organizer Mr. Wong Chan Wah and a bust of Dr. Sun Yet Sen.

Next it was off to dinner at the same hotel that we had lunch at. Nothing remarkable to comment on except that the tour company informed us that this dinner was sponsored by the tour company, as we were expensing the meals budget too quickly.  

After dinner we went on a river cruise on the Pearl River. Lots of pretty lights. A good peaceful end to a long day.
