Zhongshan

Zhongshan City was renamed to commemorate Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan) the founding father of the Republic of China. It is bordered by Panyu District of Guangzhou City and Shunde District of Foshan City, and Jiangmen in the west. It is also a city of the Greater Bay Area.

Zhongshan is a national historical and cultural city. Xiangshan culture, which originated in Zhongshan, is an important source of modern Chinese culture.

Zhongshan is one of a very few cities in China named after a person. It is named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), who is known in Mandarin as Sun Zhongshan. Sun, the founding father of the Republic of China who is also regarded positively by the People’s Republic, was born in Cuiheng village in Nanlang Township of what was then Xiangshan County. In 1925, the year after his death, Xiangshan was renamed Zhongshan in his honor.
