Guanyin Mountain is also called Yuexiu Mountain.

The location of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Yuexiu Mountain, Guangzhou was originally a Buddhist temple-Guanyin Pavilion.

Guanyinge has a long history and was founded in South Han Dynasty. First called Wuxing Temple, then Wanshan Temple. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a general named Hua Ying went to Wanshan Temple in Yuexiu Mountain to worship Buddha. He thinks the temple is too small and hidden in the mountains, so it is not easy to be noticed. So the temple was expanded and renamed Guanyin Pavilion. Because there is Guanyin Pavilion on the mountain, people also call Yuexiu Mountain Guanyin Mountain.

Guanyin Pavilion on the Yuexiu Mountain has been repaired in later generations, the most important of which was in the early Qing Dynasty. At that time, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, burned a batch of glazed tiles for the construction of Wang Fu, but because the colors and specifications were similar to those of the palace building materials, he finally dared not use them for the construction of Wang Fu, so he had to donate these building materials to major temples and use some of them for the construction of Guanyin Pavilion.

After that, Guanyin Pavilion was renamed guanyin temple.

During the Daoguang period, a fort called Shen 'antai was built behind Guanyin Pavilion.

/kloc-at the end of 0/857, after the British and French allied forces captured Guangzhou, Guanyin Pavilion was once occupied by the allied forces as a headquarters. Criz, a British naval officer and amateur photographer, took the first photo of Guanyin Pavilion at 1858. Since then, Guanyin Pavilion has often appeared in the lens of Chinese and foreign photographers. There are many front, side, back, perspective, middle and close-up photos. Please choose some for readers.

Incidentally, Guanyin Pavilion and Shen 'an Terrace were demolished in 1928 (which was in disrepair at that time), and now Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was built on the original site in 1929. The monument was designed by the famous designer Lv Yanzhi (the designer of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall) and became one of the landmark buildings in modern Guangzhou.
