Relic of Yaozhou, Cultural heritage site in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, China.

The Relic of Yaozhou encompasses ancient ruins and stone inscriptions at 86 Education Road, featuring historical structures and garden elements.

During the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan transformed this area into a royal garden with artificial lakes and islands for medicinal herb cultivation.

The Nine Luminaries Stone displays calligraphy by Mi Fu, representing the artistic achievements of the Song Dynasty through inscriptions and poetry.

The site remains accessible to visitors, with tea seating areas and educational displays explaining the location's evolution through different dynasties.

The name Yaozhou originated from the practice of creating elixirs for immortality using herbs grown in the imperial garden's specialized cultivation areas.
