Zhongshan, Prefecture-level city in Pearl River Delta, China
Zhongshan is a prefecture-level city in southern China's Guangdong province, where alluvial plains alternate with coastal hills. The Wugui Hills within the city reach an elevation of 531 meters (1,742 feet) and shape the surrounding landscape.
The settlement received the name Xiangshan during the Northern Song dynasty in 1082. The current name was chosen in 1925 to honor Sun Yat-sen, who founded the modern Chinese republic.
The Fufeng Pagoda was built in 1608 and rises seven stories above the surrounding area. Colonial-era buildings line the western section of Sunwen Road and show different architectural influences.
Ferry services to Hong Kong depart regularly and provide a direct water route between both cities. Agricultural products are transported to Guangzhou via waterways that run through the city area.
Each specialized town focuses on a single industrial sector, such as lighting fixtures, furniture, or electronic appliances. This spatial division of production shapes the economic structure of the entire region.
