My favorite travel city so far this year

Zhongshan is very close to Shenzhen, only a 30-minute drive away. Here, you can find ancient buildings with a rich history and delicious food that will make your mouth water. Every bite will leave you wanting more. Zhongshan is not a big city, so you can have a relaxing and fun trip while learning something new.

Below is a two-day Zhongshan itinerary. Just follow it and you'll have a great time!

This free attraction is not large, but it is full of history. The wall with the words "Bo Ai" (universal love) reflects the revolutionary spirit of Sun Yat-sen.
