Zhongshan, Guangdong, formerly known as Xiangshan, is the hometown of Sun Yat-sen and was renamed Zhongshan in his honor.
There are European-style buildings and old arcaded streets. Many people come to Zhongshan to eat authentic squab, but it is also a place of nostalgia for many.
Depart from Shenzhen, take the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, and enjoy a day of sightseeing and eating in Zhongshan, experiencing the city's stories and tasting Zhongshan's cuisine.
