Situated in Jiefang Bei Lu, one kilometer (about 0.6 mile) southeast of Guangzhou Railway Station, Yuexiu Park is the largest park in Guangzhou City. Mt. Yuexiu, six hills and three artificial lakes make up the park. Tourists can visit places of interest and historical sites including the Five-Ram Sculpture, Zhenhai Lou and the Sun Yat-Sen Monument.
Standing on the top of Five-Ram Mountain in the western part of the park, the moorstone Five-Ram Sculpture is a landmark in Guangzhou. Artists in Guangzhou City created the sculpture based upon a myth to express good wishes and bring good fortune to the city.
Zhenhai Lou, also called Five-Storied Lou, sits on top of Mt. Yuexiu. Climbing up, tourists can enjoy one of the Eight Spectacular Scenes of Guangzhou City - the view out over Mt. Yuexiu. Now Zhenhai Lou houses Guangzhou Museum which exhibits cultural relics and material detailing the development of Guangzhou City from the Neolithic Age.
To commemorate the great forerunner of the Chinese revolution - Sun Yat-Sen, the Sun Yat-Sen Monument was erected on top of Mt. Yuexiu. The monument stands about 37 meters (about 121 feet) high and on its face is carved Sun Yat-Sen's will.
If tourists visit the park in spring or fall, they can see the busy and lively flower exhibitions held there.
