Five Rams (五羊石像), a symbolic landmark of Guangzhou (广州). It is built in 1960 inside Yuexiu Park (越秀公园) according to a local legend. A mother goat (nanny) and four kids (offspring of goat) brought from the heaven by a deity to save the people during a drought. Therefore, this city is also known as City of Goat (羊城). In 1999, this statue is declared as city-level heritage site. Thanks leave2008 (想起︷ˋ).
