Zhongshan (disambiguation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Chungshan)
Zhongshan (Zhōngshān) is the Mandarin pronunciation of 中山, the Chinese for "Middle Mountain" or "Central Mountain".
In modern China, it often refers to Sun Yat-sen, who adopted its Japanese form Nakayama while he was hiding in that country. His hometown in Xiangshan or Hongshan (香山) in Guangdong Province, China, was subsequently renamed Zhongshan in his honor and has grown into a prefecture-level city.
An alternative romanization found in older sources is Chung Shan.
Zhongshan (中山) may also refer to:
- Zhongshan (state), of the Zhou Dynasty located in modern Ding County, Hebei
- Zhongshan (warship), Chinese gunboat named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1925
- Zhongshan County, Guangxi Province, China
- Zhongshan District, Dalian, in Liaoning, China

- Zhongshan District, Taipei, in Taiwan
- Zhongshan Park, common park name in China
- Zhongshan Road, common road name in China
- Zhongshan Station, a station of TRTS Tamsui Line

"Zhongshan" may also refer to other locations owing to Chinese's many homophones:
- Purple Mountain (紫金山, Zĭjīnshān), also known as Bell Mountain (鍾山, 钟山, Zhōngshān), in Nanjing, China
