Spring Check-in at Shantou Landmark: Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion

Located in Shantou city, the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion was built in 1934. It was initiated by Lee Pek Huan, the owner of the Nansheng Company in Shantou and an overseas Chinese from Indonesia. After the construction of Guoping, Anping, and Shengping roads in Shantou city, a large open space was created at the intersection of the three roads. With the advocacy and fundraising efforts of the Nansheng Company and approval from the municipal government, the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion was built in the center of this open space. Flowers and trees were planted around it, and benches were provided for visitors to rest, hence the name 'Little Park'. The pavilion employs dozens of traditional Chinese mortise and tenon techniques. The caisson ceiling inside the pavilion is constructed in layers, each layer fitting into the next, creating a total of 23 layers from bottom to top without using a single nail. The architecture is quite exquisite. As one of the cultural landmarks of Shantou, a 'Century-old Commercial Port', the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion carries countless memories of the Chaoshan people. It is not just a building, but a work of art, and a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Shantou. Detailed address: Anping Road, Jinping District, Shantou City (Free admission)
