Zhongshan, Prefecture-level city in Pearl River Delta, China
Located in southern Guangdong province, Zhongshan stretches across alluvial plains and coastal hills, with the Wugui Hills reaching 531 meters in elevation.
Originally named Xiangshan during the Northern Song dynasty in 1082, the city received its current name in 1925 to honor Sun Yat-sen, founder of modern China.
The streets of Sunwen Road West preserve colonial architecture while the Fufeng Pagoda, constructed in 1608, stands as a seven-story historical monument.
The city maintains water connections with Hong Kong through ferry services and handles substantial agricultural shipments to Guangzhou through its network of waterways.
Manufacturing in Zhongshan operates through specialized towns, each focusing on specific industries such as lighting fixtures, furniture, or electronic appliances.
