Statue of the Five Goats
The granite Statue of the Five Goats is located in the west part of Yiexiu Park in central Guangzhou and was erected in 1959 to honor the city’s symbol. Legend has it that 5 celestial beings brought 5 goats into Guangzhou. The goats were all carrying rice, which symbolized that they would make sure that the area would always be free of famine. Guangzhou has paid tribute to these benevolent goats by making them the symbol of the city. There are many goat statues in the "Goat City" and the Statue of the Five Goats is the most impressive.
