Xiamen Zhongshan Park is located in the old urban area of Xiamen in Siming District on Xiamen Island. Construction of Zhongshan Park began in the autumn of 1927 and was completed in 1931. It is the earliest park in Xiamen and has an open, outward-looking character, unlike enclosed traditional Chinese gardens, and is known as the finest garden in South China. The park was planned and designed under the direction of Zhou Xingnan, then adviser to the Xiamen Embankment Works Office, and the architect Lin Rongting, and in its construction the park's natural water system was used for the layout, with buildings dotted among it. After its completion, Zhongshan Park went through the War of Resistance against Japan, the Second Chinese Civil War and the ten years of turmoil, and its buildings, facilities and natural scenery were repeatedly damaged, but after several renovations the park's overall appearance has been preserved to this day, and many cultural relics also survive in the park. The park now covers an area of 11.07 hectares. In 2008 Xiamen Zhongshan Park was listed in the second batch of National Key Parks. In 2012 Zhongshan Park was included in the first batch of the Xiamen park list, and is the only park on that list to be listed at the same time as a comprehensive park (a city-wide park) and a specialised park (a historic famous garden).<
