Guangzhou/Yuexiu

Yuexiu (越秀, Yuht sau in Cantonese, Yuèxiù in Mandarin) is a central district in Guangzhou. The old walled city of Guangzhou was here, though it has been mostly redeveloped. Yuexiu is now the political and cultural center of Guangzhou, with many museums, holy sites, and urban parks.

Dongshan (东山, Dūng sāan in Cantonese, Dōngshān in Mandarin) district was merged into Yuexiu in 2005.

By metro
Metro Line 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8 serve Yuexiu. Almost all the district is within walking distance of a metro station.
