Located in Guangzhou’s Yuexiu District, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall stands as an iconic tribute to the great democratic revolutionary pioneer Mr. Sun Yat-sen, spanning 62,000 square meters. Completed with a lighting renovation and upgrade in 2017, it served as the main venue for the 2017 Guangzhou Fortune Global Forum dinner. Hongyu Lighting, with nearly 20 years of exceptional management experience and advanced lighting engineering expertise, successfully bid for and delivered this project, earning acclaim from the client and peers. As a nationally and provincially protected cultural relic and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, designed by renowned architect Mr. Lu Yanzhi, the hall’s lighting was meticulously crafted by Hongyu Lighting—holder of Class A Lighting Design and Class I Lighting Engineering Construction qualifications—to merge cultural heritage with modern LED intelligent lighting, breathing new life into this historic landmark while upholding its “Advocate of Light Art and Culture” philosophy.
Project Highlights: Hongyu Lighting’s Innovative Light HeritageThe Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall’s lighting upgrade respected its status as a cultural relic, with Hongyu Lighting employing scientific design to create a light environment that balances solemnity and modernity:
- Cultural Relic Preservation: Low-intensity LED fixtures highlight the dome and facade, preserving traditional Chinese architecture, reducing nighttime energy use by 20%, and ensuring relic safety.
- Dinner Venue Transformation: For the 2017 Fortune Global Forum, the interior was transformed into a magnificent hall with smart dimming and artistic lighting, offering an immersive experience for international guests.
- Landscape Ambiance: Soft floodlighting accentuates the hall’s silhouette, integrating with Yuexiu District’s nightscape, attracting over 3 million annual visitors and enhancing its nighttime appeal.
These designs stem from Hongyu Lighting’s rigorous project management and quality controls, harmonizing historical preservation with modern functionality.Hongyu Lighting’s Technical SupportFounded in 2001, Hongyu Lighting, through Guangdong Hongyu Lighting Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Ruibai Light Environment Design Institute, has delivered landmarks like the Canton Tower and Guangzhou Opera House.
