 Zhongshan and Cuiheng Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
Unless you need to change buses, there's no need to visit ZHONGSHAN itself, a characterless county town 100km from Guangzhou, but 30km east of here on the coastal road to Zhuhai is the good doctor's home village of CUIHENG, now the site of a memorial garden (daily 8.30am-5pm; ¥5) celebrating his life and achievements.
There's also the solid, Portuguese-style family home where he lived between 1892 and 1895, "studying, treating patients and discussing national affairs with his friends".
Out the back of Sun's home are some rather more typical period buildings belonging to the peasant and landlord classes, restored and furnished with wooden tables and authentic silk tapestries - the main difference between Cuiheng's rich and poor seems to have been the quality and quantity of their possessions.
