Still a little publicity, a little impetuous, a little ambiguous. Everything seems so contradictory, but it is tolerant. This is Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is also called "Five Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou City". Guangzhou's alias has a beautiful story. It is said that Guangzhou suffered from famine year after year in the Zhou Dynasty, and the people turned a blind eye to the statue of Wuyang. One day, there were five colorful auspicious clouds floating over the South China Sea, and five immortals rode fairy sheep with five colored ears of rice in their mouths. The immortal gave the ears of rice to people and hoped that there would never be a famine here. After the immortal left, five fairy sheep stayed because of their attachment to the world, wishing the local weather. In order to thank the five immortals, people set up a "Five Immortals View" where they stayed. There are five statues of immortals in the scenery, accompanied by five stone statues of sheep. Yuexiu Park has "Wuyang Sculpture", which has been used as the mascot of the 20 10 Guangzhou Asian Games.
