During Sun Yat-sen's second stay in Wuzhou, he and Xu Yanhuan, the governor of Cangwu County, ascended the Northern Mountains and instructed them to defend the city of Wuzhou. In 1924, Beishan was set up as a park and named Zhongshan Park, which was the earliest park built in Wuzhou. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, built in 1930, is also located in the park.

It is Dragon Island
Longzhou is located in the heart of the Xijiang River, 3.5 kilometers east of Wuzhou City, surrounded by water on all sides. Also known as Seven Mile Continent. The island is full of grass, rocky, pavilions, green trees and rivers. Legend has it that there is a mountain range on Cheung Chau Island in the upper reaches of this continent that winds east and extends to this point, like a chain locking the mouth of the Three Rivers, so the history is called Longzhou.
When Sun Yat-sen was stationed in Wuzhou for the second time, he and Zhang Meng and others landed on Longzhou and admired the dangerous terrain and beautiful scenery of this continent; he instructed to build a fort on Jinping Mountain and form a horn with the Lion Fort to defend the Wuzhou River.

Gyeongnam Lord Temple
Jingnan Da dare temple is located in Cangwu County, West Beijing South Town. On November 15, 1921, Sun Yat-sen hired 65 ships, 7 cruise ships, and sent all his entourage to leave Wuzhou for Guilin to continue organizing the Northern Expedition. Due to the rapid and shallow water of the beach, one of the ships led by Sun Yat-sen sank. So Sun Yat-sen stopped at the Jingnan Grand Temple, postponed it for two days to Zhaoping, and arrived in Guilin on December 4. In 1999, according to the clues of historical materials and insiders, a shipwreck was found in Changfa Wulong Beach, and after many demonstrations by experts in the field of history in Wuzhou City, it can be affirmed that this is the one that sunk on the way to Guilin led by Sun Yat-sen in the Northern Expedition.
