Yuexiu Park is one of the earliest parks in Guangzhou and the largest comprehensive free park in the city. Nowadays, Yuexiu Park boasts beautiful natural scenery with subtropical characteristics and also preserves various historical relics and sites. The area where the park is located has been one of the Eight Sights of Yangcheng since the Yuan Dynasty, and in 2006 it was rated as a National 4A-level Tourist Attraction.
The entire park is characterized by natural landscapes, with pavilions, terraces, towers, corridors, and other garden attractions showcasing Lingnan features. Every spring and autumn, the park hosts flower exhibitions, attracting many Guangzhou escort visitors each year. Among them, the most representative “Five Rams Stone Sculpture” is a key protected cultural relic in Guangzhou. It was built in 1959 and created by three sculptors, Yin Jichang, Chen Benzong, and Kong Qiuchuan. The entire stone statue is carved from 130 pieces of granite, stands over 10 meters high, and has a volume of 53 cubic meters. This sculpture is regarded as the symbol of Yangcheng, and many tourists stop here to take photos with it. In addition, the “Zhenhai Tower” is also one of the park’s attractions. It is the best-preserved and most majestic ancient building in Guangzhou with distinctive national characteristics. The tower is 28 meters high, 31 meters wide, and has five floors. From the top, visitors can see the Pearl River and Baiyun Mountain.
Yuexiu Park is composed of the main peak Yuejinggang and the surrounding hills of Guihuagang, Muke’gang, Liyugang, and three artificial lakes: Beixiu, Nanxiu, and Dongxiu. All three lakes offer boating services, typically priced at 30 yuan per hour for a two-person boat (prices may vary at times). It is worth noting that the three lakes differ in features: Dongxiu Lake offers views of the TV tower and has bumper boats, as well as a children’s playground on the lakeside; Nanxiu Lake offers distant views of the Zhenhai Tower and has a large lawn ideal for painting and sketching; Beixiu Lake is shaded by lush greenery and features a flower house, a lake island, and Jinyuan Garden along its shore. In addition to its natural beauty, the park also has many historical sites, including the Sun Yat-sen Monument, the ancient city wall of Guangzhou, and the old square fort.
It is worth mentioning that the entire scenic area can be toured by electric car, with a one-way fee of 10 yuan and three routes to choose from. However, it is most recommended to enter the park from the main entrance and get off at the Five Rams Stone Statue (near the west gate). Upon exiting from the statue’s entrance, you will find Panfu Road, which is lined with many restaurants featuring Guangzhou’s specialties, making it an ideal place to dine after your visit.
