Guangzhou's largest comprehensive park; Yuexiu Mountain was the natural barrier guarding the old city's north: the Five Rams Sculpture (completed in 1960), drawn from the legend of "five immortals riding rams bearing rice ears," is the emblem of the "Goat City" and a must-visit photo spot; the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Monument stands on the summit echoing Zhenhai Tower, while sections of Ming Dynasty city wall and the Sifang Fort (a British stronghold during the Sanyuanli anti-British resistance) stack up layers of history. Artificial lakes and flower shows run through the seasons; free admission with direct metro access makes it a double hotspot for residents' morning exercise and visitor photos.
Getting there: Metro Line 2, Yuexiu Park Station
