#中山之旅 🎏Zhongshan, a city named after a great man, has a profound history and cultural heritage. After the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel, it only takes half an hour to drive from Shenzhen to Zhongshan, which is very suitable for weekend leisure and relaxation. 📍Qijiang Bridge Spanning the Shiqi River, it has witnessed the changes of Zhongshan over more than half a century. From the nearby Zhongken Pedestrian Bridge, you can take photos of the Qijiang Bridge, Guangming Bridge, and the Ferris Wheel in the same frame. 📍Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street It was formerly known as Ying'en Street. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1925, it was renamed Sunwen Road in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The low-rise buildings on both sides are Nanyang-style arcade buildings, which still retain the artistic style of ancient buildings. 📍Xishan Temple It was first built in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally a place for local scholar Mao Kezhen to study. Later, it was changed into a temple. It was expanded and rebuilt many times in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, forming its current scale. It is very suitable for taking ancient style photos. 📍Old Streets and Alleys: Starting from Sunwen West Road, there are many authentic arcade streets and ancient buildings from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. 📍Zhongshan Museum The system presents the 5,000-year development history of Xiangshan (Zhongshan), and includes the Xiangshan Commercial Culture Museum, Zhongshan Overseas Chinese History Museum, Zhongshan Radio Museum and other special museums. 📍Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Looking down from above, the building looks like the Chinese character "中", and when standing on the ground and looking at it at eye level, it looks like the Chinese character "山".

Most of them are elegant and beautiful. From the various exquisite carvings on the exterior of the houses, it can be seen that many of the owners here came from prominent families, and the village has also experienced a lot of glorious history. 📍Zhan Garden in Zhongshan The largest private garden in Lingnan, built in 1998, integrates the classical architecture of blue bricks and black tiles with the natural beauty of beautiful mountains and clear waters, bringing out the Chinese classical garden to its fullest. 📍Sun Yat-sen's Hometown Tourist Area It includes five core scenic spots: Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence Memorial Hall, Cuiheng Village, Zhongshan Film and Television City, Xinhai Revolution Memorial Park and Litoujian Mountain, which fully presents the relevant historical relics of Sun Yat-sen from his birth to his revolutionary activities. 📍Zhongshan Film and Television City One of the top ten film and television bases in China, it has theme blocks such as Chang'an Town Scenic Area, Republic of China Block, British and American Block, etc. ✅️Recommended tour routes Qijiang Bridge 👉Sun Wen West Road Pedestrian Street 👉Xishan Temple 👉Zhongshan Museum 👉Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall 👉Sanxi Village 👉Zhongshan Zhan Garden 👉Sun Yat-sen Hometown Tourist Area 👉Zhongshan Film and Television City 🏠Accommodation: You can choose to stay near Xingzhong Square in the city, which is very convenient for going to attractions and eating and drinking.

I absolutely love the vibe of Zhongshan. Walking through the streets of this city, you can feel the warmth and romance of life everywhere. Strolling leisurely along Sunwen West Road🚶🏻♂️, the colorful arcade buildings are bathed in warm orange hues at sunset, making every step feel like walking into a painting. Promise me, you must capture these 9 spots before leaving Zhongshan! ❶ Zhongshan Catholic Church Located on Sunwen Middle Road, it's the perfect starting point for your city walk. The ancient church facade has a lot of stories to tell. ❷ Four Happiness Coffee Company With many branches, the original store is right across from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Park, next to the Zhongshan Museum. You can visit the museum while you're there👀. Sitting in the outdoor seating area, a cup of coffee in hand, every snapshot is super chill. ❸ Xishan Temple Continue forward to reach Xishan Temple. The steps in front of the temple are a great spot for photos, with various angles making for great shots📸. ❹ Tea Yixian The super popular 'Zhongshan Fun' sign is right at the entrance of Tea Yixian on the pedestrian street. Many people come here to check in. ❺ Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street The arcade buildings along the entire street are captivating, especially the pastel-colored facades. At sunset, the light pouring down is particularly healing💕. ❻ Xiangshan Park Remember to walk up the steps to get a stunning panoramic view of the arcade street on Sunwen West Road. The clock tower in the distance adds to the atmosphere! ❼ Xiangshan Commercial Culture Museum A whole pink building, perfect for those with a girly heart💗.

||In the past decade, Zhongshan has been one of the cities in Guangdong that I visit most frequently. It has typical Lingnan culture, diverse cuisine, and a leisurely pace of life, which makes me feel that it is really livable. Most of the time, it is not crowded here, but with the recent opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, it seems that the city has finally ushered in its "highlight moment." In addition to the newly opened shopping malls and increasingly mature attractions, the familiar but quiet shops in the past have suddenly become popular. With the arrival of autumn, I came to Zhongshan again and walked along the walking route I have always liked. I felt both familiar and surprised. 🚶Walking route: Minsheng Road - Sunwen Middle Road - Taiping Road - Hubin Road ① Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park (not big, under maintenance) ② Zhongshan Museum (P6, recommended, newly built but crowded) ③ Xishan Temple (P3, recommended, with a century-old camphor tree and an old library) ④ Yixian Lake (P5, 12, recommended, relaxing and comfortable in the sun) 😋Some food ① Suxi Coffee (P7, good coffee and cultural and creative products, not many people before🤣) ② Aiqun Restaurant (P8, traditional tea house atmosphere, but the location is slightly off and there are many people) ③ Huashenghang (P9, authentic tortoise jelly) ④ Shunyouji (P10, simple Cantonese fast food, porridge, rice, and noodles are all available) - With the development of transportation, people began to pour in, breaking the tranquility of many years. But it is worth seeing this treasure city get more attention and experience! The city is still adapting, so be more inclusive and enjoy it! - 💡: There are many people on holidays, especially in the old streets, so it is recommended to walk 📷: iPhone, Ricoh GR3 .
