Yuexiu Park

Yuexiu Park is the largest park in Guangzhou and the natural scenery inside is very suitable for walking and exercising. The park is free to enter and very popular with locals.

Generally, most tourists come here to climb the mountain and visit the lake, take pictures at the Wuyang stone statue, look at the Guangzhou Museum (requires additional charges, 10 yuan) and the ancient city wall. Som also like to visit the Jinyin Playground and Dongxiu Children’s Park to play.

It consists of the main peak Yuejinggang and the surrounding seven hills such as Guihuagang, Muqigang and Liyugang, and three artificial lakes of Beixiu, Nanxiu and Dongxiu. All three lakes can be used for boat trips. The price for a two-person boat is 30 RMB an hour.

The difference between the three lakes is that Dongxiu Lake can overlook the TV tower, and there is a bumper boat. There is a children’s playground on the lakeside. Nanxiu Lake can overlook the Zhenhai Building. It has a large lawn on the lakeside. It is good for painting and sketching. Beixiu Lake has little shade, although there are flower gardens.
