Zhongshan Park (中山公园） is situated in the western part of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, covering an area of 490,000 square meters, it is the only park of Shenzhen named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the oldest park in Shenzhen as well.
The park has undergone 80 years history. Originally, it occupied 13,000 square meters and was built in 1925 by Mr. Hu Yu, a Hong Kong gentleman and the former magistrate of Baoan county for commemorating Dr. SUn Yat-sen. The park has been greatly expanded since the founding of Shenzhen City, Shenzhen municipal government made up overall plan and fixed the scope of the park in August 1984. After 3 years' preparation, parts of the renovation have been completed. In 1998, Nanshan District Government decided to return the park to public and set up new reconstruction plan, the projects consist of 14 scenic spots including undulating hills, luxuriant plants, historic sites and modern architectures. All these make the park to be a comprehensive one with historic, cultural and educational characteristics.

Various tropic plants and lakes dominate all over the park, there are 32 unique and aged trees, 200 kinds of ornamental plants, 60,000 square meters of grasslands and 30,000 square meters of artificial lake. The park also has statues of at least seven other heroes, all found in an area translated on a signboard as "Elite-Gathering." They are: Wen Tianxiang (1236-1283); Wang Hong (early 1500s); Liu Wen (late 1500s); Guan Tianpei (1781-1841); Lai Enjue (1795-1848); Chen Yu (1904-1974); and Zeng Sheng (1910-1995) After reconstruction, Zhongshan park re-opens to visitors on the 133rd anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's birthday.
