The Five Rams Statue (五羊石像) is a monumental 11-metre granite sculpture in Yuexiu Park and the undisputed symbol of Guangzhou. According to legend, five celestial beings riding rams descended from the heavens carrying sheaves of grain, blessing the city with eternal prosperity.
Carved by sculptor Yin Jichang and unveiled in 1960, the statue quickly became the city's emblem. Guangzhou is still nicknamed 'City of Rams' (羊城) in honour of the legend.
