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
