So when you look up to the top of the mountain, there is a giant lantern. You can see it anywhere in Dongguan City at night. You may ask, "how can there be such a view of lanterns hanging on the top of the mountain? "That's because it's said that in the past, there was a thousand year old banyan tree on the top of the yellow flag mountain, which was often the habitat of fireflies around. At night, it looked like a lantern from a distance, and the wonders spread far and near, so it became the first of the Eight Sights in Dongguan.

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, many old people and women in Dongguan come to burn incense in groups. On festivals such as Guanyin birthday, there are a lot of people. If it's Chinese new year, it's just a traffic jam. The smoke of burning incense has trapped half of the mountain.

Of course, these are legends, but here is a good place to learn about Dongguan folk customs.
