Cloudy with with chance of fun ✨️
#xiamen was an impromptu trip I took during the #yearofrabbit CNY weekend. It definitely didn't go as planned as the weather was very cloudy and rainy but I still made the best of it. A lot of recommendations were closed during the holiday weekend but I still enjoyed my time visiting the places I did. I highly recommend #zhongshan Pedestrian Street, it's great for strolling and finding some great streetfood and cool stores. Also, I recommend the Helium Air Balloon ride on Xiada Baicheng beach. Overall a good trip!
Urban Wilderness
Wuguishan (五桂山) in Zhongshan is a huge forested area surrounding several reservoirs, of which the largest is the picturesque Changjiang Reservoir.
The forest is only a short distance from Zhongshan's urban centre and is easily accessible from several places. There are numerous hiking trails criss-crossing the park, but the most popular walk from the north side is to Lion's Head Mountain (狮头山), which offers the best view of the Changjiang Reservoir, as well as Zhongshan's east district. It's not a long walk (it should take most people 30-45 minutes) but it is steep and rough in places, so wear sturdy footwear and bring enough water.
Make sure to carry out your trash and don't pollute the reservoir!
Although Wuguishan is surrounded by dense urbanisation, it feels like a genuine wilderness. Highly recommended for anyone in the area who needs a nature break.

The Leaning Tower of Zhongshan
Above Sun Wen Xi Road rises a steep hill home to a verdant park. The very top is the site of the Fufengwen Pagoda, a famous and slightly less than vertical tower. It's not possible to enter the pagoda, but it's a good spot for a photo (and a good motivation to climb the stairs to the top of the hill!)
Other park attractions include a memorial pavilion to Dr Sun Yat-sen, tennis and basketball courts, and pleasant walking paths. There are at least three entrances to the park, most of them leading to stairs, but there's one accessible entrance with a stair-free ascent of the hill.
Visit the park together with the century-old Sun Wen Xi Road for an ideal visit to Zhongshan.

Street
It looks like Macau’s Senado Square or Guangzhou’s Shangxiajiu Pedestrian street.
Sun Wen Xi Road is located in the city of Zhongshan. it’s beautiful architectures brings you in the old west. Mostly southern part of China mostly Guangdong Province in each cities have there own version of East meets West feels because of overseas Chinese workers who works overseas likes to bring western ideas to there homeland. building that looks very well constructed and now very well preserved.

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.

I finished a big project this morning so I took the afternoon off and visited Zimaling Park, 紫马岭公园 , in Zhongshan. A highlight for flower lovers and photographers alike is probably the rose garden, which is just inside the south gate on Bo'Ai Rd, 博爱路, and features dozens of varieties of roses. There are also several large grassy fields where people sit out or have a picnic, each surrounded by flower gardens or shaded by different kinds of trees. It was truly refreshing to wander around and take photos after being stuck at my desk for so long.
Zimaling gets quite busy on the weekends, but if you can go during normal business hours you'll enjoy open space and tranquility.
Where: Zimaling Park, Zhongshan, Guangdong
Cost: Free
Getting there: There are gates on the north and south. The south side has parking but it gets very crowded weekends. There's lots of bike/motorbike parking.
Accessibility: Many parts of the park are wheelchair accessible

Love & Peace @ Sanxi Village
This cozy village has a great calming atmosphere, take a stroll through the streets and see what it has to offer. There are plenty cafes and shops to grab a bite to eat and drink. The area is small but still worth a visit. Expect to spend the day if you want or just a few hours admiring it’s beauty. Located in Zhongshan, Guangdong. #freehotelstay #localguides #friendship #Zhongshan #guangdong #daytrip

The ruins of Zhongshan ancient fort - Gyantse
The ruins of Zhongshan ancient fort stand on the cliffs in the middle of the ancient city of Gyantse, and the entire group of ancient castles is staggered on the top of the mountain, with an altitude of 4020 meters, which looks very majestic in the middle of the nianchu river plain.
What makes Gyantse the most famous is that it has a heroic history that can be sung and wept. In the winter of 1903, the british invading army invaded Gyantse from Yadong and was met with stubborn resistance from the tibetan military and civilians. The british suffered heavy casualties and were forced to flee.
