Yuexu Park is considered to be one of the central parks in Guangzhou city. It acts as a natural defense in the northern part of the Guangzhou city together with Bai Yun Mountain. With height of more than 7,000 meters above sea level, it is also historically known as Yue (Guangdong) Xiu Mountain, Yue Wang Mountain. During the Ming dynasty, in the reign of Yong Le, Guan Yin temple was built on this mountain hence it is also called Guan Yin mountain.

During the early West Han dynasty, Yue Xu Mountain was known to offer pilgrimage to many people, but then in the early 20th Century, Dr Sun Yat Sen, suggested that Yue Xu should be turned into a grand park which was only realized after the liberation of China in 1949.

Now, Yuexu Park is known for providing immense and comprehensive cultural recreation. It consists of one main hill, Yue Jin Gang, 7 small hills Guihua Gang, Muhe Gang, Yu Gang, etc. and Baixiu, Nanxiu, Dongxiu artificial lake. Its total area is 860,000 sqm.
