Cuiheng is best known as the birthplace of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the "Father of the Nation" of the Republic of China. Cuiheng is 17.6 km southeast of downtown Zhongshan, and 26 km north of Macau. The whole village is designated a special economic district, as Cuiheng New Area.

History

The village was established in the latter half of the 17th century by the Feng and Mai families, who were later joined by the Yang and Lu (陸) families. The Lu surname became most numerous. At the time of Sun Yat-sen's birth in the 1860s, there were about sixty households with ten surnames. In addition to Sun, Lu Muzhen, Sun's first wife and Lu Haodong (1868–1895), an early revolutionary martyr, were also born in Cuiheng.

Administration

Cuiheng is administered by Nanlang Township. For a time, Cuiheng village was elevated to the township level and became the town of Cuiheng Village (翠亨村镇). However, in 1998 it was downgraded and reintegrated inside the town of Nanlang. On 31 March 2013 Cuiheng was upgraded into a "New Area".

Tourism

Cuiheng is home to the Former Residence of Dr Sun Yat-sen (孙中山故居) and the Sun Yat-sen Residence Memorial Museum (孙中山故居纪念馆), which was built next to the residence in 1956. The residence and museum complex was classified as a Major Site Protected at the National Level of China in 1986 by the State Council of China. There is also a Polaris Temple (北极殿) dedicated to the Polaris Emperor (北极帝君).
