Yuexiu Park , named after Yuexiu Mountain , was built in 1952. It was the largest comprehensive park for culture admiration, including the stone sculpture of the Five Rams, Zhenhai Tower , the site of the Ming Dynasty City Wall, and Square Cannon . Five-Ram Sculpture is a symbolic structure in Guangzhou . A l egend tells that more than 2,000 years ago, five immortals in colorful garments came, riding on five rams which held sheaves of rice in their mouths. Blessed with the sheaves of rice the city became a rich place. The rams turned into stone.

In the past dynasties, three of "Goat City's Eight Scenes " add incomparable glamour to the park: " autumn moon ", " connected peaks ", " waves of the pines ".

The park is made up of three man-made lakes and seven hills of Yuexiu Mountain . Dongxiu Lake and Nanxiu Lake with graceful environment is a good place for painting; Beixiu Lake with the shade of trees is a fine place for fishing.

The grass and trees are verdant throughout the year in the garden. Large-scale winter jasmine fair, chrysanthemum fair and various kinds of flowers exhibitions are held every year.
