Yuexiu Park (Five Rams Statue & Zhenhai Tower)
越秀公园（五羊石像·镇海楼）
The largest park in central Guangzhou, with the Five Rams Statue as the city’s emblem and the Zhenhai Tower housing the Guangzhou Museum.
Yuexiu Park centres on Yuexiu Hill. The Five Rams Statue on the summit comes from the legend of the “Five Immortals riding rams and carrying rice stalks” and is the symbol of Guangzhou’s nickname, the City of Rams. The five-storey Zhenhai Tower, built in the Ming dynasty, is one of the oldest surviving city gates in Guangzhou. It houses the Guangzhou Museum, and climbing it offers views over the city. The hill also has remains of the Ming city wall and a Sun Yat-sen memorial monument. The park is free, but the Guangzhou Museum requires a ticket or advance booking. It stands across the road from the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and is served by Metro Line 2, Yuexiu Park station.
