The Five Goat Statue is one of the city symbols of Guangzhou (Wuyangcheng - The Five Goat City), situated in the province of Guandong in the southern part of China.  The goat statue symbol is a tribute to the ancient legend of the five celestial goats that were accompanied by five deities to the land below.  The five goats brought plentiful of rice to the land where they landed and ensured that the land (now known as Guangzhou) would be free from famine.  Gunagzhou is also known as Huacheng (the Flower City) and Suicheng (the Rice-Ear City).
