Zhongshan (中山) Square (广场), Dalian (大连)
Zhongshan Square was built by the Russians in 1898, who named it Nikolayevskaya Ploshad (Nikolai's Square). The Japanese called it "Ohiroba" (Large Plaza). Finally, the Chinese named it Zhongshan Square in 1945 after Sun Zhongshan (孫中山) (aka Sun Yat-sen 孫逸仙). Ten roads meet here.
