Zhongshan 4th Road
中山四路
One of Chongqing’s most beautiful streets, shaded by parasol trees. Historic sites from the wartime capital era, such as the Zhou Residence, Guiyuan, and the Dai Residence, line the road.
Zhongshan 4th Road runs through the Shangqingsi area of Yuzhong District. It is about 1 km long, with French parasol trees on both sides, and is considered one of Chongqing’s most beautiful streets. During the War of Resistance, this was the core area of the Nationalist government. Along the street are the Zhou Residence at 50 Zengjiayan (former site of the CCP Central Committee’s Southern Bureau), Guiyuan (where Mao Zedong stayed during the Chongqing negotiations), the Dai Residence, and the Museum of the History of China’s Democratic Parties. Most of the memorial sites are free to enter (closed on Mondays). Get off at Zengjiayan Station on Metro Line 2, and you can combine a visit with the Great Hall of the People and the Three Gorges Museum on the same day.
