Zhan Tianyou (26 April 1861 – 24 April 1919), “the father of China’s railroad”, was responsible for the first railroad constructed in China without foreign assistance (from Beijing to Zhangjiakou). A Guangzhou-native, Zhan was chosen to study in America at the age of 12 and graduated from Yale University with a BA in civil engineering. Upon his return, Zhan’s contribution to China’s railway development cannot be understated.

Sanyuan Palace, located at the southern foot of Yuexiu Park, is the oldest and largest Taoist building in Guangzhou, with a history spanning 1,600 years.  It was built by a satrap in the Jin Dynasty, and was originally called Yuegang Temple. In the Ming Dynasty, after being rebuilt, Sanyuan Palace got its present name. During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards smashed up the gods and occupied the palaces. In July 1982, Guangzhou People's Government rebuilt the temple.
