Zhongshan Travel Tips
When to Go
Plenty of sunshine and rainfall in this landscape gives Zhongshan City a mild climate. Combined with its advantageous geographic position, it is an ideal place to live. However, the occasional hot summer and sometimes disastrous weather can be disappointing for visitors. So, coming here in spring (from March to the middle of May) and autumn (from the last ten days of September to the first ten days of December) are recommended.

In recent years, a series national industrial bases and a number of locally featured towns have been built there, which promote economic growth while satisfying a range of consumer needs.
Now, if you are ready to begin shopping, head to Sunwen Xi Road. Sunwen Xi Road is the most attractive pedestrian street of Zhongshan City, featuring a long history and many shops. While you enjoy buying local products and souvenirs, take notice of the exotic buildings along the road, many of which were used as hotel, restaurants and department stores many years ago. Furthermore, if you are visiting there during the harvest season, make sure that you do not miss the many local fruits including litchi, pineapple, bananas, and longan.
If you can imagine Sunwen Xi Road as being a traditional Chinese elder, Fengyuan Business Street, in contrast, is a fashionable girl full of modern vigor. Located on Sunwen Middle Road, Fengyuan Business Street is marked by famous brands and large department stores. Shop away!
