廣州越秀公園（下）The Ultimate Citywalk in Yuexiu Park to Five Rams, Ancient Walls & Monuments(4K)

本期我們要深度探訪廣州的城市象徵——越秀公園。我們將不走尋常觀光路線，而是為您聚焦解讀園內四顆最璀璨的「歷史明珠」：承載神話的五羊雕像、沉默堅固的明代古城牆、見證城市現代化的越秀山水塔，以及氣勢恢宏的中山紀念碑。準備好跟我們一起，開啟一場從古老傳說到近代風雲的沉浸式時空穿梭之旅。

🗿 五羊雕像：城市神話的永恆鑄刻
這裡是廣州被稱為「羊城」、「穗城」的精神原點。這組由130塊花崗岩雕砌而成、高達11米的雕塑，生動再現了「五仙騎羊贈穗」的古老傳說。領頭的公羊口銜稻穗，昂首遠眺，其餘四羊環繞嬉戲，姿態靈動。它不僅是遊客必到的打卡地標，更是深植於每位廣州市民心中的文化圖騰與集體記憶。建議在上午陽光側照時拍攝，石雕的質感與力量感最能顯現。

🧱 明代古城牆：觸摸六百年的城市筋骨
在繁茂樹木的掩映下，這段全長約1100米的古城牆靜靜矗立，它是廣州現存最古老、最完整的城牆遺跡，始建於明洪武十三年（公元1380年）。堅實的紅砂岩石條與青磚，曾構成明代廣州城「舊城」的北部屏障。如今，戰火與硝煙早已遠去，但當您親手觸摸那些斑駁甚至帶有古代工匠銘文的磚石時，彷彿仍能感受到這座千年商都曾經的防禦脈搏與歷史滄桑。雨後探訪，濕潤的牆體與青苔更添一份歲月的厚重。

🗼 越秀山水塔：隱於林間的近代工業記憶
這座綠頂黃身的西洋式水塔，是公園裡一個容易被人忽略卻極具故事性的地標。它建於1931年，是廣州早期現代自來水供水系統的關鍵組成部分，曾為山上的居民和重要機構輸送珍貴的潔淨水源。其折衷主義的建築風格，在實用功能之外兼具美學考量，是廣州城市現代化進程中公共設施建設的無聲見證者。如今，作為文物保護單位，它靜靜隱於林間，等待人們發現它關於「城市生存與進步」的獨特篇章。

⛰️ 中山紀念碑：貫穿天地的精神軸線
巍然聳立於越秀山巔的中山紀念碑，與山下的中山紀念堂共同構成一條莊嚴肅穆的南北建築軸線。由建築師呂彥直設計，於1929年建成。碑高37米，內部設有可盤旋而上的118級鐵梯。攀登的過程極富儀式感，而當您最終抵達碑頂的觀景窗時，一幅壯麗的城市畫卷豁然展開——傳統的中山紀念堂與現代的天際線同框，這裡是理解廣州城市格局傳承與發展的最佳觀景台。下午時分登臨，光線最為柔和，適合拍攝全景。
We’ll skip the usual tourist trail and focus on interpreting four of its most brilliant “historic gems” for you: the mythical Five Rams Statue, the silent and sturdy Ming Dynasty City Wall, the Yuexiu Hill Water Tower that witnessed urban modernization, and the majestic Sun Yat-sen Monument. Get ready to join us on an immersive journey through time, from ancient legends to modern history.

🗿 Five Rams Statue: The Eternal Cast of a City Myth
This is the spiritual origin of Guangzhou’s nicknames “City of Rams” and “City of Ears of Grain.” This group sculpture, crafted from 130 granite blocks and standing 11 meters tall, vividly recreates the ancient legend of “Five Immortals on Rams Presenting Rice Ears.” The leading ram holds grain in its mouth, gazing forward, while the other four rams play around it in lively poses. It’s not just a must-visit photo spot for tourists but a cultural totem and collective memory deeply rooted in the heart of every Guangzhou resident. We recommend shooting in the morning when sidelight best reveals the texture and strength of the stone carving.

🧱 Ming Dynasty City Wall: Touching 600 Years of the City’s Skeleton
Shaded by lush trees, this approximately 1,100-meter-long ancient city wall stands quietly. It is the oldest and most complete surviving section of Guangzhou’s city wall, built in 1380 AD. The sturdy red sandstone slabs and grey bricks once formed the northern rampart of the Ming Dynasty’s “Old City.” Today, the roar of war is long gone, but when you touch those weathered bricks—some even inscribed with ancient craftsmen’s marks—you can almost feel the defensive pulse and historical vicissitudes of this millennia-old mercantile capital. Visit after rain when the damp wall and moss add an extra layer of temporal weight.

🗼 Yuexiu Hill Water Tower: Modern Industrial Memory Hidden in the Woods
This green-domed, yellow-walled Western-style water tower is an easily overlooked yet profoundly storied landmark in the park. Built in 1931, it was a key component of Guangzhou’s early modern tap water supply system, delivering precious clean water to residents and important institutions on the hill. Its eclectic architectural style combines aesthetic consideration with practical function, serving as a silent witness to the construction of public utilities during Guangzhou’s urban modernization. Now protected as a cultural heritage site, it rests quietly among the trees, waiting for people to discover its unique chapter on “urban survival and progress.”

⛰️ Sun Yat-sen Monument: A Spiritual Axis Connecting Heaven and Earth
The Sun Yat-sen Monument towers majestically atop Yuexiu Hill, forming a solemn north-south architectural axis with the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall below. Designed by architect Lu Yanzhi and completed in 1929, the monument stands 37 meters tall, with an internal spiral iron staircase of 118 steps. The ascent itself is highly ritualistic. When you finally reach the viewing windows at the top, a magnificent urban panorama unfolds before you—the traditional Memorial Hall and the modern skyline share the same frame. This is the ultimate vantage point to understand the inheritance and development of Guangzhou’s urban layout. Climb in the afternoon for the softest light, ideal for panoramic photography.
