Zhongshan Lu
Feb. 10th, 2012 11:00 amZhongshan [1] Road is Xiamen's pedestrianized main shopping street. The only problem is, if you're standing on the waterfront, just how does a pedestrian get there?
Not a good photo, but that's a multilane highway between me and Zhongshan Road, with an anti-pedestrian barrier in the middle and not a crossing in sight.
( More behind cut... )
[1] Most cities in China will have something named after "Zhongshan", the most common Chinese name of Sun Yat-sen. The characters mean "Middle" and "Mountain" and Dr. Sun first picked it up as an alias in Japan (it's pronounced "Nakayama" in Japanese, but spelt with the same characters).
