Description
Yuexiu Mountain, also known as Yuexiu Mountain and Yuewang Mountain, is located in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, China. It is 70 meters above sea level and is the remnant of Baiyun Mountain. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a Guanyin Pavilion was built on the mountain, so it is also called Guanyin Mountain. It consists of the main peak Yuejinggang and the surrounding Panlonggang, Guihuagang, Changyaogang, Liyutougang and other 7 hills and 3 lakes (Nanxiu Lake, Dongxiu Lake, Beixiu Lake). The entire Yuexiu Park covers a total area of 860,000 square meters. Yuexiu Mountain was a strategic location on the sea in ancient times. Zhenhai Tower was built on the top of the mountain, which is now one of the city symbols of Guangzhou.
