Wuzhou Zhongshan Park

Wuzhou Zhongshan Park

Wuzhou Zhongshan Park is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Wuzhou Zhongshan Park was originally known as Beishan, anciently called Chashan, and is located in the city center. In the 14th year of the Republic of China (1925), it was turned into a public park and named "Zhongshan Park," making it the earliest-established park in Wuzhou.

The country’s earliest completed Zhongshan Memorial Hall is situated atop Beishan and is a cultural relic protection unit of the autonomous region. It was proposed for construction in March 1925 by Li Jishen.

The memorial hall focuses on introducing Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s deeds during his three visits to Wuzhou from late 1921 to early 1922, where he guided the people of Wuzhou in building their hometown and managing the navigation of the Xijiang River.

The memorial hall is grand in scale, consisting of front and rear sections. The central part of the front section is a four-story tower-style domed building, with two-story wings on the east and west serving as exhibition rooms. The rear section is a thousand-person auditorium. The front of the memorial hall features layered steps, totaling more than 340 steps from the mountain foot to the main gate. In front of the gate is a spacious plaza, with a lotus pond in the center, surrounded by stone benches and shaded by banyan trees, creating a charming scene.
