#中山Attractions Sun Wen West Road is located outside the west gate of Shiqi Tiecheng in the urban area of ​​Zhongshan City, Guangdong. It connects to Jindu (Shiqi River) in the west, surrounds Yandun Mountain in the south, and reaches Renshan (now the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall) in the east, forming a "mountain, water, and city" pattern. , has also become the commercial, cultural and transportation center of Shiqi. On both sides of the road in this street are historical buildings that have gone through decades, hundreds, or even hundreds of years, and they still retain the color of ancient architectural art. If you travel to Zhongshan, you must visit Sunwen West Road. From the beginning of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the acceptance of Western architecture in the Republic of China, it has preserved exquisite wood carvings and gray sculptures to this day. It is full of the brilliance of Zhongshan’s commercial civilization and the imprint of returned overseas Chinese. It is worth your time to visit.

Sunwen Xilu, 孙文西路, is a short but pleasant pedestrian street in Zhongshan, Guangdong. It is similar to other late Qing-Republic of China towns or streets such as Daliang in Shunde. There are plenty of qilou and other period buildings, and they've been quite well preserved (the façades, anyhow). It probably looks broadly the same as when Sun Yat-sen himself walked along this street a century ago. There are many places to get a snack or a drink along the street, as well as a few places for a more substantial meal. I opted for liangpi, 凉皮, and passionfruit iced tea from neighbouring shops on the small square midway along Sunwenxilu. It can get quite busy there around meal times but was pretty quiet around 11 on a Sunday morning. Besides eating you can shop, mostly for knock-off clothes, or visit the neighbouring park, which is home to a famous pagoda. Afterwards take a stroll along the riverside or a ride on Zhongshan's imposing ferris wheel. #tripfoodie #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #qingmingtravel #weekend #staycation #foodieheaven #streetfood #tea #zhongshan #guangdong #sunyatsen #sunzhongshan #qilou

This was my first time visiting Zhongshan during the Spring Festival, and I embarked on a food journey. As soon as we arrived, we went to Sunwen West Road near the Sheraton Zhongshan Hotel where we were staying and checked in at the New Year Food Market held there. As soon as we reached the entrance of the food street, we were attracted by the food stalls from well-known local restaurants in Zhongshan, and the stalls were crowded with people! First of all, we were naturally attracted by the aroma of the most famous Shiqi roasted pigeon in Zhongshan! The skin was roasted golden and crispy, and when you took a bite, the tender and juicy pigeon meat spread in your mouth, and the aroma was overflowing. We talked to the stall owner, and he said that they had prepared carefully in advance for this food street event, and they could sell hundreds of pigeons every day! As we continued walking, we came to the Xiaolan Dongsheng crisp grass carp booth. The unique cooking method of pot hanging makes the crisp grass carp taste fresh and elastic, which is completely different from ordinary fish. The Yako claypot rice next to it was also very popular. The steaming claypot rice had distinct grains, and the rice crust was crispy and delicious. Paired with special sauce and fresh ingredients, every bite was super satisfying! Then there was a special food, chrysanthemum cheese cake, which left a deep impression on me. It is a newly developed chrysanthemum delicacy, golden and tempting when it is just out of the oven, and you can pull out long cheese threads with a gentle pull. When you put it in your mouth, the fragrance of chrysanthemum and the richness of cheese are perfectly integrated, and the taste is rich and memorable! Here I also saw a very popular national intangible cultural heritage project - the sugar blowing stall, which was surrounded by adults and children. The children watched curiously as the master blew the syrup into various cute shapes, their eyes full of surprise. Under the guidance of the master, a child personally blew a small rabbit sugar man and was so excited that he couldn't put it down. In addition to food, there are also various cultural and creative products here. In the Xiangshan Ancient Style Cultural Experience Hall, there are a wide variety of cultural and creative products such as handmade agarwood and handmade embroidery, each of which demonstrates the unique charm of traditional culture. 📍Address: No. 102, Sunwen West Road, Shiqi Street, Zhongshan City 🚇Transportation: You can take a bus, such as Bus No. 001, 016, 018, 035, 201, etc., to Fengming Road Station or Xidi Road North Station, and you can easily reach it on foot. 🚖Self-driving: Navigate to "Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street" (there are many parking lots nearby, such as Xingzhong Plaza Parking Lot, Zhongshan Department Store Underground Parking Lot, Jinducheng Parking Lot, etc.).

Day 1: Stories of Streets Through Time The first stop in Zhongshan is the renowned Sunwen West Road. This street carries the historical memories and modern prosperity of Zhongshan, with its cobblestone paths and arcades on both sides telling tales of the past. As you stroll along the street, the sunlight casts dappled shadows on the vintage buildings. Here, you can find nostalgic tea houses and antique shops, as well as many artistic boutiques selling handmade crafts and local delicacies. I made a special stop at a café, ordered a locally crafted fruity coffee, and watched the bustling crowd on the street, feeling as if I had traveled through a time where the past and present converge. In the evening, as the streetlights come on, the entire street is enveloped in a warm glow, making it exceptionally charming. Day 2: A Gentle Collision of Nature and Culture The second day's itinerary begins at Zhongshan Zhan Garden. This classical garden unfolds like a traditional Chinese painting. Inside, winding streams and pavilions are scattered harmoniously, making it a place where one can linger. I walked along the winding paths, occasionally stopping to enjoy the harmonious melody of birdsong and flowing water. In the afternoon, I sat in the garden's tea house, savoring a pot of fragrant oolong tea while quietly admiring the scenery outside the window. This perfect blend of classical culture and natural beauty brought a poetic end to the journey.

Spent a day in Zhongshan, and the city walk was so relaxing! 👣If you drive, you can set your destination to "Zhongshan Museum". After parking, you can visit several nearby attractions! ☕️There are several Suxi Coffee shops in Zhongshan. You can try it if you pass by, but it's not worth a special trip. ⛪️The Immaculate Conception Church is also worth a visit. It feels very sacred, and you can visit it for free. It's also a great photo spot! 😔Although it's close to Zhongshan Memorial Hall and Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street, don't go there recently, as they are under renovation. It's a pity, but you can visit next time. 🌈The Qijiang Bridge and Ferris wheel are great photo spots, especially at night. 🎯In addition to the above, Zhongshan has some other great attractions. You can visit Caobian Village, where the kiln-baked bread is delicious! I bought some for breakfast! Caobian School has a retro feel! We had a local guide, so we didn't eat in Shiqi, but in Shaxi. ✅Xiaze Feilao: An old restaurant that has been open for at least 20 years. Many people go there for beef brisket noodles, which are large and affordable. The beef brisket is huge, and you can get full for just CNY 15! The turnip cake and taro cake are also very flavorful! ✅Next to Xiaze Feilao is a shop that sells freshly ground black sesame paste, which is rich, smooth, and fragrant! ✅Bage Farm: The juicy roasted pigeon is worth it, with crispy skin and thick meat. I ate a whole one by myself🤣. The sweet and sour Bage tofu and rice cooker clay pot rice are also huge and delicious😋. I'll come back next time!

| Sheraton Hotel. Zhongshan | Sheraton Hotel🏨 💕I went to Zhongshan to visit a friend during the school holiday for the Double Ninth Festival, and chose the Sheraton in the city center as my place to stay. The hotel is located on the north side of Qijiang Park, and is within walking distance of major attractions such as Xingzhong Plaza, Zhongshan Park, and Sunwen West Road Pedestrian Street, making it very convenient for dining, shopping, and entertainment. . 💕I am a Marriott Titanium member, and after a brief chat, I was upgraded to a large suite with room number 19. The room is located on the 15th floor, with an area of 95 square meters, and has a square layout with one bedroom, one living room, and two bathrooms. The design style continues the heavy elegance and dignified atmosphere of the previous generation of Sheraton. . 💕The teapot ornament on the dining table has a strong Guangdong flavor, and the light-colored carpet makes the overall atmosphere more relaxed. It is worth mentioning that the hotel uses a clothes dryer, and the welcome gift is Evian in glass bottles, which is the first time I have seen such a configuration in a Sheraton I have stayed in. . 💕The bedroom is located at the corner of the building, with 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the Qijiang River. The bathroom is equipped with Roca sanitary ware, and the water flow is very strong.

On an early winter afternoon, I took a leisurely walk along Sunwen West Road in Zhongshan. This century-old street seems to be imbued with the essence of time, with each step resonating with the pulse of history. The arcade-style buildings on both sides, with their towering arches, exude the charm of bygone days, blending the old with the new, making one slow down their pace. The street is dotted with a variety of small shops, ranging from nostalgic calligraphy and painting stores to creative spaces selling handmade crafts. Each shop seems to hold a story, waiting to be savored. I took a break at an old teahouse, ordered a pot of Pu'er tea, and watched the people passing by outside the window, as if it were a moving painting. As the sunlight gradually slanted, the old church at the corner was bathed in a soft golden hue, and the gentle breeze carried the light music played by a street performer from afar, creating a serene atmosphere. At this moment, the past and the present converged, and the ordinary afternoon filled my heart with warmth and emotion. Sunwen West Road is not just a street, but a journey of dialogue with the past. Here, one not only retrieves memories of the years gone by but also finds a moment of inner peace.
