origin

Eighteen Luohan mountain, located in the southeast of Dagang Town, is a rare forest hill in southern Panyu. Its main axis is 3.1km long and 2km wide, with a total area of 5048mu and the highest altitude of 127.3m. It was called lion mountain in ancient times. In 202 BC, after Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, Liu Bang tried his best to recruit Xiang Yu's subordinates. The former generals of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who defected to Xiang Yu earlier, refused to accept Liu Bang and fled to southern Guangdong. Among them, 18 generals fled south to the foot of lion mountain in Tanzhou. Because of the boundless lion ocean in front of them and the following pursuers, they climbed to the top of lion mountain in a hurry. From then on, they lived in seclusion in the cave on the top of lion mountain. They often meditated and prayed on the top of the mountain, and later became the "Eighteen Arhats" through the Enlightenment of Guanyin Bodhisattva. According to legend, the 18 stones lined up on the mountain are the embodiment of the "Eighteen Arhats". Because of this, Shizishan was renamed as the 18th Luohan mountain.
