In recent years, Zhongshan has seen the birth of many new cultural and creative parks and life art spaces, which witness the city's renewal. Many buildings that were used for various historical purposes have been creatively transformed and introduced with new business models to become new cultural landmarks, telling their new stories in the new era.

Holiday Plaza: National nighttime culture and tourism consumption zone

Holiday Plaza (假日广场) is located at the intersection of Sunwen East Road and Xingzhong Avenue. Featuring characteristic buildings and cultural landscapes, it focuses on such culture and tourism activities as wholesale and retail of books, culture and creativity street, museum-like space, culture and art training and display of cultural collectibles.

In November 2021, Holiday Plaza was rated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as the national nighttime culture and tourism consumption zone.

ART: A cultural park on life philosophy

ART (ART中山生活哲学文创园) is a cultural and creative park with philosophy of life. It was transformed from the Xingguang Aluminum Factory and the flea market. It is a combination of cultural creativity, intangible cultural heritage exhibition galleries, craftsman studios and shared art spaces. 

Cultural activities will be held regularly here to showcase the atmosphere of life philosophy and the experience of life aesthetics. If you have a passion for photography, ART is an ideal place for you.

Container & Art: Building a new world with containers

Located in Longtouhuan Village, Shaxi Town, Container & Art (艺箱·理想) is made up of containers of different colors. Once a wasteland, it has become a creative food park that many catering brands move in. It is now a place for trendy toys and fine food, and a destination for young people to start up their businesses.

14 Creative Cultural Loft: Artistic time of old factories

In Zhongshan's Tanzhou Town, there is a good place for photo taking. The crisscrossing streets and alleys in 14 Creative Cultural Loft (坦洲14创益文化园) connect different characteristic areas that were transformed from 29 old factories.

You can enjoy a romantic time in the fairytale-like Colorful Umbrella Street, experience the water life of the Tankas at the Saltwater Song Meseum, or enjoy coffee and food in the Container Street.
