Pearl Water Night Rhyme
", "Etan jathyapple", "Pearl River Blue" and "Pearl Water Clear Wave".
Yunshan Zhushui is known as the most representative natural landscape in Guangzhou. Since 1993, the Guangzhou Municipal Government has planned the Pearl River as a scenic reach. After years of consolidation, pollution reduction and interception, river dredging, river bank decoration and landscape planning, the 23-kilometer landscape corridor of the Pearl River has gradually formed, and the river has become increasingly clear. On both sides of the strait, there are many jade buildings and high-rise buildings, and the "Pearl River Rainbow" project has been gradually built. The north shore is a lighting viewing area, and the high-rise buildings above 8 floors in Linjiang are decorated with colored lights and spotlights. 18 double-sided transparent and uniform billboards are built among the trees on the sidewalk, with kapok-shaped lighting in the middle. At night, when the lights are on, there are thousands of lights on both sides of the Pearl River, which are colorful and gorgeous, and all kinds of colorful neon lights are dazzling, showing the elegance of Lingnan culture in the new era.
It is amazing that the five river-crossing bridges, namely Ren Minqiao, jiefang bridge, Haizhu Bridge, Jiangwan Bridge and Hai Yin Bridge, are illuminated by lights, like five dazzling rainbows, accompanied by ten-mile lanterns on both sides of the river, dotted with glittering cruise ships. This is such a beautiful moment, so is the world-famous night view of the Seine River in Paris, France!

In the archaeological excavation of Yuexiu District, the old city of Guangzhou, especially Beijing Road, the central axis, it was found that the original road surface of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties was only more than one meter deep from today's road surface! Tracing back to the eight scenic spots of Yangcheng in the past dynasties, Yuexiu Mountain is indispensable, such as Haishan Xiaojing, Yuetai Qiuyue, Yuexiu Songtao, Yuexiu Lianfeng, Zhenhai Floor, Yuexiu Overlooking, Yuexiu Floor and so on. Yuexiu Mountain is the place where Guangzhou is built, and like an old man in history, it is a witness to the prosperity and decline of this ancient and young city.

Huanghuagang, located in Xianlie Middle Road, Guangzhou, was built to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs who died in Guangzhou on April 27th, 1911 under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen.
On the day of the uprising, Huang Xing led more than 16 revolutionary party pioneers to revolt, and fought fiercely with the Qing army for a day and night. They were outnumbered and ran out of ammunition, and suffered heavy casualties. Later, 86 martyrs were found out, and afterwards, Pan Dawei, a revolutionary, risked his life to collect 72 martyrs' bones and buried them in Honghuagang, and joined the Party in Huanghuagang with the title of "New Ghost Record before the Consultation Bureau" Although the uprising failed, it greatly aroused the morale of the people throughout the country, and uprisings surged one after another everywhere. After half a year, the Wuchang Uprising succeeded, finally overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and ending the autocratic rule of feudal monarchies in China for more than two thousand years.
in p>1912, the Guangdong military government allocated funds to build the martyrs' mausoleum in situ, and Sun Yat-sen planted pine trees himself. In 1918, Fang Shengtao (brother of martyr Fang Shengdong), commander of Yunnan Military Division, raised funds to build it and began to take shape. After many times of construction, it was basically completed in 1935 and turned into Huanghuagang Park.

The tombstone of the "Tomb of Seventy-two Martyrs" stands in the pavilion. The pavilion is like a hanging bell, which means fighting for freedom. On the right side of the tomb, there is a "Monument of Seventy-two Martyrs in Huanghuagang", engraved with the names of 72 martyrs, and beside it are tombstones with the names of 14 martyrs that were later found and engraved. Behind the tomb is Zhang Binglin's inscription, "Concluding the Seventy-two Martyrs' Jigongfang in the Republic of China". In the middle of the top floor of the workshop, 72 rectangular stones are stacked in rows and cut into a mountain-shaped stone pile, symbolizing 72 martyrs, and a stone statue of Liberty holding the torch stands at the top. In addition, there are many memorial buildings around. Square, memorial archway, tomb road, moon pool, altar, tomb and Jigong Square are arranged along the central axis, together with the tomb road, forming the whole cemetery. All kinds of plants with open yellow flowers are planted in the park, such as Jasminum giraldii, Huang Sui Crown, Paeonia lactiflora, Huangmei, Osmanthus fragrans and oleander, etc. The yellow flowers bloom all the time, symbolizing the immortal spirit of martyrs.
Huanghuagang is an important memorial site in the revolutionary history of China. In 1961, it was announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In 1986, it was named as one of the "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng" with its "yellow flowers and great spirit".
