When travelling in mainland China, a “Zhongshan Road” can be found in almost different cities. Statistics suggest an interesting fact that there are over 187 roads named after “Zhongshan” in China and “Zhongshan Road” is usually the most prestigious area in the city. No wonder some have said, “The number of Zhongshan Road in China is equivalent to the number of cities in China.”

However, the roads cannot beat the city of Zhongshan for its uniqueness. It is the only city named after Dr Sun Yat-sen in China. Zhongshan is the hometown of Dr Sun. Therefore, it is full of historical traces related to him. There is also a range of poetic attractions in Lingnan style for you to explore.

Zhongshan is like a history lesson in real life. Visiting the Tourism Area of Sun Yat-sen's Hometown and Sun Wen Memorial Park allow you to know about the life of Sun, revolutionary activities and the related historical sites. If you walk into the Zhongshan TV and Film City, you would even feel as if you are travelling back in time to different historical events. Want to experience more about Lingnan? You should then visit Zhan Garden, the largest classic private garden in Southern China. How relaxing and amazing it is to be surrounded by mountains and waters! Back to Qijiang river in downtown Zhongshan, you can take a ride on the colourful Binjiang Huancai Ferris Wheel next to the river and enjoy the mesmerising nightscape of Zhongshan.
