Nanlang Town is one of the townships which enjoys the richest cultural tourism resources in Zhongshan. Zuobu Village of Nanlang Town is the ancestral home of Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of China's democratic revolution, as well as the hometown of famous movie star Ruan Lingyu, cartoonist Fang Cheng and revolutionary ancestor Ou Chu. 

Zuobu Village has preserved intact watchtower houses, ancestral halls, village temples, historical streets and other cultural relics. This has made the village an attractive tourist and sightseeing destination. 

Recently, Zuobu Village invited art teachers to draw on the village walls to portray the rural landscapes or famous figures. These hand-paintings also add a bright new color to the village.
