What To Expect
Yuexiu Park
Located atop Yuexiu Hill, the Five Rams Statue was built in 1960 from more than 130 pieces of granite. The statue represents the five rams who gave Guangzhou its nickname "City of Rams" and depicts the symbol of Guangzhou: five mythical rams who bore five immortals - the city's founders 2000 years ago. Back then, as legend goes, Guangzhou was barren; the rams carried sheaves of rice, teaching its residents how to grow rice and ending the specter of famine forever, ensuring an eternity of bumper harvests. When the immortals departed, the rams turned to stone.
Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall
The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is an octagon-shaped building constructed with funds raised by local and overseas Chinese people in memory of Sun Yat-sen. Considered to be the "Father of Modern China", Sun Yat-sen fought against the imperial Qing government and after the 1911 revolution ended the monarchy, and founded the Republic of China. Construction work of the hall commenced in 1929 and completed in 1931. The hall is a large octagonal structure with a span of 71 meters without pillars, housing a large stage and seats 3,240 people.
