KNOWLEDGE OF Zhongshan
Zhongshan (Chinese: ä¸å±±; Hanyu Pinyin: ZhÅ?ngshÄ?n) is a city in the south of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong province in southern China.
The city was originally a county renamed in honour of Dr. Sun Zhongshan, who is also known as Sun Yat-sen and considered by many to be the "Father of modern China". Dr. Sun was born in Cuiheng town just outside Zhongshan.
Prior to the name change, the city was called Xiangshan County (香山縣 "Fragrant Mountain") and was part of Yuehai Circuit (粵海�).
Zhongshan is a city of numerous leafy parks, wide boulevards and various monuments. Notable sights include:
Sunwen Road West (or Sunwen Xilu) in Zhongshan Old Town, a pedestrian mall lined with dozens of restored buildings from the colonial period in treaty port style. The seven story Fufeng Pagoda, built in 1608, which is visible from all over the city, is located on a hill in Zhongshan Park, which abuts the western end of Sunwen Road West immediately to its north.
Sunwen Memorial Park, at the southern end of Xingshong Road, is the site of the largest bronze sculpture of Sun Yat-sen in the world.
