The old capital of Zhongshan

The old capital of Zhongshan

Located at the foot of Linshan and 10 kilometers north of Pingshan County, Sanji Township covers an area of 35 square kilometers. It is the capital of Zhongshan state in the Warring States period more than 2000 years ago. It is a rare large-scale city site with complete preservation in China. It is a key cultural relic protection unit of the state.

Zhongshan is a country with few historical records in China. For a long time, it has a strong mystery. The discovery of the ancient city of Zhongshan, especially the excavation of some inscriptions, provides a very detailed information for the study of its history. Looking down from high altitude, the old city is irregular peach shaped. There are more than ten sites, such as palace area, residential area, pottery field, smelting field, ancient city wall, Zhongshan wangcuo tomb and so on. There is an ancient Buddha Hall on the forest mountain behind the city, and there are 13 tombs and pagodas of eminent monks in the gorge.
