    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
