Monument of Sun Yat-sen, Guangzhou, Memorial monument on Yuexiu Hill, Guangzhou, China

The Monument of Sun Yat-sen is a 37-metre granite obelisk on the main peak of Yuexiu Hill, facing south. Its front bears a 7-metre-high stone inscribed with Sun Yat-sen's Last Will and Testament in Li Jishen's clerical script, with a smaller plaque below. The base has an arched entrance with red iron doors, and 26 stone ram heads project from the railing.

The monument was proposed after Sun Yat-sen's death in March 1925, and the Nationalist Party's Second Congress decided in January 1926 to build it on Guanyin Hill. Construction began on 6 March 1928 after Hong Kong contractor Hong Yik won the bid, and the monument was completed on 5 December 1929. It was formally opened together with the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall on 10 October 1931.

The monument's name links it to Sun Yat-sen, whose Last Will and Testament is carved on a 7 m by 4 m granite slab in Li Jishen's clerical script, with the Kuomintang's 1926 resolution accepting the will below it in Tan Yankai's regular script. Twenty-six stone ram heads project from the base railing, a pun on Yangcheng, the city's nickname.

The site is easily accessible by public transportation, with multiple options available to reach it. Wear comfortable shoes for the visit, as getting to the hill involves some uphill walking.

The monument's east face still bears a vertical channel cut through the granite to carry a television antenna. From 1959, Guangdong People's Radio used a temporary transmitter on the roof to broadcast black-and-white programmes on channel DS-2 until the equipment moved to the neighbouring Guangdong TV Tower in 1966.
