Zhongshan Wharf

Zhongshan Wharf, Historic ferry terminal in Gulou District, Nanjing, China

Zhongshan Wharf is a ferry terminal positioned along the southern bank of the Yangtze River in Nanjing. The site includes a main terminal building and steel docking bridges that accommodate daily passenger traffic across the river.

The terminal was built in 1928 and took its current name in 1929 when it received Sun Yat-sen's remains during a major funeral procession to Nanjing. The location later served as a landing point during a significant military river crossing campaign in 1949.

The waiting hall at 21 Jiangbian Road began as the Xiaguan terminus of the Ningxing railway in the early Republic, was turned into a warehouse under Japanese occupation and a teahouse after 1945, and was rebuilt as the ferry waiting hall in 1954. Since 2004 the city's funeral authority has held a collective river memorial here around Qingming, boarding citizens to remember relatives along the Yangtze.

The Ningpu ferry to Pukou Wharf runs every 20 minutes from 5:00 to 23:00, about 104 crossings a day, and the trip takes roughly 15 minutes. Bicycles can be brought aboard for a vehicle fee. The waiting hall stands at 21 Jiangbian Road in Gulou District, near Nanjing West Railway Station and the Xiaguan long-distance bus station, and several city buses start from the wharf.

The waiting hall at 21 Jiangbian Road began as the Xiaguan Jiangkou station building of the Nanjing provincial railway, was turned into a warehouse under Japanese occupation and later a teahouse, and was rebuilt as the ferry waiting hall in 1954. It is now a Gulou District protected heritage building.
