On February 24, 1952, when the exchange meeting closed, the municipal government decided to use the original facilities and manpower to reorganize it into a long-term cultural activity site with the nature of a local chronicle Museum. On March 8, 1952, it was renamed "Lingnan cultural relics Palace".

From March to autumn of 1952, it was subordinate to the Propaganda Department of South China branch;

In the autumn of 1952, it was assigned to the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of culture;

On January 1, 1956, with the approval of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of culture, Lingnan cultural relics palace was renamed Guangzhou Cultural Park, which was subordinate to Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of culture.

On August 24, 1965, it was put under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture.

Features of scenic spots

After more than 50 years of development, cultural park has accumulated profound historical and cultural heritage and created a number of influential cultural brands. Since 2014, the cultural park has spared no effort to promote the development of cultural undertakings. Through continuous inheritance and innovation, on the basis of the three traditional cultural events of the Spring Festival Flower Festival, the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival and the Yangcheng chrysanthemum Festival, we have created new cultural brands loved by more people. In order to expand the influence of these cultural brands, we successfully selected the top ten cultural brands of the cultural park by carrying out the "top ten cultural brands selection activities" among employees and society.

Welcome to spring

The "spring flower fair" began in the lunar new year in 1957. By elaborately planning the theme, innovatively designing the scenery group and properly arranging the cultural activities, the cultural park is dressed up as a sea of flowers full of flowers, happiness and peace. Among them, "Lantern Festival" as the finale of "welcome spring flower festival", will push the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival to a climax. By 2014, the "Spring Festival Flower Fair" has become an extension of the flower market on New Year's Eve.
