This Park used to be a part of the Imperial Palace, the Gugong. The working people's cultural palace located within Zhongshan Park was historically in use as Shrine to the Imperial Ancestors.
The Architecture of the ancient Imperial Ancestral Shrine is stunning. The Size of the Hall is quite spectacular with large wooden beams and intricately worked eaves and carved dragons. The Dragons, which can be found on the Stone steps as well as the ceramic roofings signify the important former Imperial Status of this building.
