Zhan Garden, one of the four major gardens in Lingnan, was the last one I visited. It was less crowded and more beautiful. It's quite large, with corridors, pavilions, and towers that are perfect for taking photos. There are many artificial rocks, which adds a unique charm. The cats in the courtyard are also very cute.
This elegant, modern Lingnan-style garden was designed by renowned Suzhou craftsmen. The 50 yuan entrance fee is somewhat underwhelming; it lacks rare and exotic treasures, consisting mainly of a 1990s-style Suzhou garden with a few pavilions and corners. While it certainly cost a considerable amount to build, the 50 yuan price tag is not justified, and some areas around the garden are rather desolate. However, the garden, designed by skilled artisans, is still quite beautiful. Those traveling from Zhongshan might consider visiting, as Suzhou gardens are quite far away.

I hadn't planned to visit this film and television city after visiting Sun Yat-sen's former residence. When I went, it seemed like there was a group-buying promotion where tickets were only 15 yuan (originally over 60 yuan). Apparently, it's CCTV's Zhongshan base (is it similar to Wuxi's Three Kingdoms City, Water Margin City, and Tang City?). After reading the introduction, I discovered that many movies and TV series I'd seen or heard of were filmed here, including "Sun Yat-sen," "East Mountain Rain, West Gate Sunshine," and others. Also, the recently popular "Life Is Like First Meeting" and "The Storm of Drugs." Most surprisingly, the tombs of Lu Muzhen and Sun Chang are also located here (I absolutely had to see them). Lu Haodong's tomb is harder to find outside.
One of China's top ten film and television cities, it's quite far from the city center. It can be visited together with the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The price isn't high, and the park isn't very large. The buildings with a Republican-era style are worth seeing. You can probably finish exploring in less than two hours.

Starting from Zhuhai and heading north, your first stop is the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. Remember to scan the QR code to make a reservation in advance, and admission is free! 🆓 The museum is expansive, divided into six areas. The architecture is quintessentially Lingnan, and surrounded by lush greenery, it feels like you're immersed in a sea of green. 🌿 Strolling through it, one can't help but recall the revolutionary journey of this great man, and feel filled with reverence. 🙌
🏞️ Continuing north, we arrived at "Chadong Village" in Nanlang Town, Zhongshan City. This is the prototype for "Tazhai Village" in the TV series "Ice Breaking Operation"! The most iconic "Lin Clan Ancestral Hall" is actually the "Chen Clan Ancestral Hall" in the village. This magnificent building is a unique and well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architectural complex in Guangdong's Pearl River Delta. 🏛️ Neighboring "Chaxi Village" was also a filming location; why not visit and experience the unique charm of being right there in the drama? 🎬
🚶♂️ Next, we'll visit Zhongshan's "Sun Yat-sen West Road Cultural Tourism Pedestrian Street." This old street, steeped in the Nanyang style, features arcade-style shops lining its streets. 🌆 Exquisite wood carvings, plaster sculptures, arched round doors, and wall reliefs still remain, each telling the vicissitudes of the street's history. 🏞️
🌳 Other worthwhile attractions include: Zhongshan Film and Television City, Yakou Village, Zhongshan Zhan Garden, Xishan Temple, and Shayong Village. Each place has its own unique charm, waiting to be discovered.
If you travel to Zhongshan, you must visit this patriotism education base. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall includes the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Exhibition Area, Cuiheng Residence Exhibition Area, Farming Culture Exhibition Area, Yang Yin and Lu Haodong Memorial Exhibition Area, Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Area, Xinhai Revolution Memorial Park, and Cuiheng Village, a famous historical and cultural village in China. It is quite large and will take at least 2 hours! It is necessary to bring children here.

It's pretty good and worth recommending. One ticket allows you to play for 18 hours, soak in hot springs, eat buffet, eat fruit when you are tired at noon, and there is a free lounge where you can take a nap. Very relaxing.
The hot spring water is great and the environment is nice. The back massage is very professional, and the pedicure master is also very professional. I will come here again when I return to Sanxiang, but I will not come here on holidays because there are too many people. Although I bought a ticket with a meal, I left without eating.
