Yuexiu Park is located on Jiefang North Road, Guangzhou City. It was first proposed by Sun Yat-sen. However, the name "Yuexiu" was given because the King of Nanyue built the "Chaohan Terrace" on the mountain during the Western Han Dynasty. Since the Yuan Dynasty, this place has been known as one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng, so to enjoy the scenery of Guangzhou, you have to go here.

I didn't understand it at first. When I saw the word "park" and saw it in the city, I thought it was an ordinary green park. I didn't have much expectations. Only after arriving did I realize that I was wrong. Yuexiu Park not only has a beautiful environment and pleasant mountains and rivers, but also has many famous historical sites, such as Zhenhai Tower, ancient city walls, Sun Yat-sen Monument, Ming Shaowu Monuments, Sifang Fort, Wuyang Legendary Carved Statue Group, etc.

Entering Yuexiu Park, the forest is still clear and the water is clear, and the whole person is bathed in the green and lush green of the deep Yuexiu Mountain, washing away the dust of the city, thinking quietly, and refreshing. In the bustling city, you can enjoy dense and fresh woods, sparkling lakes, and historical monuments, providing a peaceful space for a rest and rest in modern and busy life.

Ancient City Wall of the Ming Dynasty

Behind the Sun Yat-sen Monument in Yuexiu Park, we saw a mottled blue brick city wall hidden among dense plants. This long ancient city wall was hidden deep in the jungle. With the changes of history, the ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty tells history in Yuexiu Park. It spans Yuexiu Mountain intermittently. Walking through it, I couldn't help but sigh at the destruction of ancient civilization by modern progress. In such a relic, we can still trace the traces of ancient history!

Looking from a distance, Zhenhai Tower in Yuexiu Park is both a building and a tower. Its shape is simple and exquisite in ancient Chinese architecture. Climbing these five-story buildings, you can see the sparkling Pearl River and the stretching Baiyun Mountain in the distance. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng. Wandering around the park, you can also see the ancient Chu Court and Foshan Archway, and feel the wisdom and pursuit of beauty of ancient construction craftsmen.

Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou City is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.; there are no tickets for the park, but tickets for 20 yuan when there are themed exhibitions, and the elderly and children are free of charge. Since we are relatively close and we don't have any transportation and accommodation expenses, it costs about 100 per person a day to visit. I suggest that friends from other places can visit by when they come to Guangzhou. There is no need to come here specifically.

Guangzhou is a prosperous metropolis and a shopping paradise. There are comprehensive restaurants for travel, shopping and dining in Yuexiu District. You can choose to buy Guangzhou specialties from places with good reputation. Recommend buying some Guangzhou sausage, beef jerky, etc. How strong is the flavor of sausages and are also packaged in gift boxes. The prices range from about 50 yuan to 100 yuan/catty; however, Guangdong-style sausages are sweet, so pay attention to purchasing according to your personal preferences. It is best to buy sausages from a store with good reputation to avoid being deceived.
