A Stroll Through Zhongshan Pedestrian Street: A Journey Through Time and Taste

If you want to feel the soul of a city, start with its old streets. Zhongshan Pedestrian Street (Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street) - this century-old street is not only the commercial heart of Zhongshan but also a journey through time that blends culture, cuisine, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it's the interplay of light and shadow under the retro arcades or the aroma of food wafting through the alleys, you'll fall in love with the unique charm of Zhongshan! Originally named 'Ying'en Street', it was renamed in honor of Sun Yat-sen. The arcade buildings on both sides of the street combine Lingnan and Nanyang styles, with colorful facades, carved windows, and vintage signs that seem to freeze time in the early 20th century. While strolling, don't forget to check in at the pink building of the Xiangshan Cultural and Commercial Museum or take a photo with the rickshaw driver statue for an instant trip back to the Republic of China era! 📸 The pedestrian street is open all day, with most shops operating from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and the night market bustling until midnight. The best time to visit is from evening to night when the lights come on, creating a more vibrant atmosphere, and you can also enjoy the night view of the Qijiang River 🌉.
