As the highest point in downtown Canton, Yuexiu Hill was once the most suitable place to install water supply equipment. As a result, the Canton Municipal Water Supply Commission set up this green-painted spherical water tower there to provide running water to the surrounding urban area. (Circa 1930s)

The Art Gallery of Guangzhou is located on Yuexiu Hill near the Zhenhai Tower. Constructed in 1929 and completed the next year, this palatial building was initially designed as the Chung-yuen Library in memory of Tang Chung-yuen, the general of the Kuomintang who was murdered during the revolution in 1922. (Circa 1930s)
