#Zhongshan Attractions Zhongshan Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street Experience Environment and Architecture Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street is located in Shiqi District, Zhongshan City. It is about 529 meters long. It was formerly known as Ying'en Street and was renamed in 1925 to commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen. The streets on both sides retain the "Nanyang-style buildings" from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, integrating European colonial architecture with the characteristics of Lingnan arcades, forming a unique combination of Chinese and Western styles. The arcade design can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also has artistic value. The streets are also dotted with historical scene sculptures such as bronze sculptures of rickshaws and reliefs of "Small Town Stories". Cultural and historical experience The pedestrian street is an important carrier of Sun Yat-sen’s cultural heritage, along which there are historical sites such as Sun Yat-sen’s former residence and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The Xiangshan Commercial Culture Museum displays the history of Zhongshan's commercial development. Century-old buildings such as the former site of the Sihao Hotel (formerly the Xiangshan Bank) reproduce the scene of modern commercial prosperity. During holidays, the Youth Culture Square often has acrobatic, folk art and other artistic performances to add to the cultural atmosphere. Food and Shopping Authentic Zhongshan delicacies are gathered here, such as Shiqi pigeon, Shaxi fried dough, Yakou wonton, etc. It is recommended to try Minxin double skin milk and Shiqi Lao dessert. The pedestrian street also introduces younger business formats, such as specialty coffee and tea shops, and cultural and creative stores, to meet tourists' needs for taking photos, checking in, and shopping. Leisure and Entertainment As an extension of the pedestrian street, Xingzhong Square has created "One River and Two Streets" (Qijiang River View, Nanyang-style Shopping Street, Riverside Food and Bar Street).
