Zhongshan | The Hometown of Great Men with Characteristic Town and Street Models✨City of China
Zhongshan, the only city in China named after a great man, is the home of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which is of extraordinary significance. At the same time, it is still an “alternative” in Chinese cities, as one of the five “straight-cylinder cities”, Zhongshan City directly governs towns and streets, without municipal districts and counties (county-level cities).
Each town in Zhongshan has its own signature industry, such as lighting in Guzhen Town, mahogany furniture in Dachong Town, home appliances in Nantou Town, hardware locks in Xiaolan Town, and casual clothing in Shaxi Town. Moreover, these industries are combined with the folk culture and food of each town, especially after the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, Zhongshan is making every effort to create a new landscape of cultural tourism in the town.
On the west bank of the Pearl River, at the foothills of Wugui Mountain, this Zhongshan, rich in people and rich in food, has accumulated a rich modern celebrity culture and folk culture, attracting countless people to take pictures with its unique style.
🏠 Accommodation recommendation: The attractions of Shiqi Street in the main city mostly revolve around Sun Wen West Road, Sun Wen Middle Road, it is very convenient to choose a nearby hotel.
🚗 Travel mode: recommend self-driving; if only to the main city of Shiqi streets, shared motorcycle + walking, then combined with a taxi is good.
