Panyu Xinghai Park

Panyu Xinghai Park ― Rebuilt in the 1980s to commemorate the people's musician Xian Xinghai, it is located in Shiqiao, Panyu, covering an area of over 70 acres. A bust of Xian Xinghai stands inside the main gate. The park features picturesque lakes and hills, pavilions, winding bridges, paths, and lush flowers, plants, and trees. “Many people don’t know that Xian Xinghai, who was born in Macau, had ancestral roots in Panyu, Guangzhou.” The people of Panyu have always held a special reverence for the “people’s musician Xian Xinghai.” As early as the 1980s, Panyu had a Xinghai Park, hosted an annual Xinghai Arts Festival, and even had a Xinghai Road. On the small hill in the northeast corner of Panyu Xinghai Park in Shiqiao, there stands the Panyu People's Heroes Monument, facing south and backed by the north. The front of the monument bears the inscription “Panyu People's Heroes Monument” by Zeng Sheng. The left, right, and rear walls of the monument feature five white marble relief carvings depicting scenes including “The Battle of Qixinggang,” “The Anti-Siege Struggle at Danshan,” “The Battle of Zhidi Village,” “The Night Raid on Xinzao,” and “The Liberation of Shiqiao.”
