Guishan is located on Damen Island, and the representative landscape of Damen Scenic Area-Guiyan, that is, the tortoise Zhao Xia, can be seen from many places. Guiyan Peak is 335 meters above sea level. The turtle rock on the summit is a natural synthesis of two huge stones. It is curled up in the northwest with its head facing southeast, much like a tortoise crawling slowly forward. When it climbed to the top, it was the rising sun and the morning glow all over the sky, which constituted the magnificent landscape of "the tortoise is shining". How did such a big turtle come from? It is said that the Dragon King of the East China Sea sent a turtle egg to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother loves it and always enjoys it. She accidentally slipped the turtle egg into the mortal world. The turtle egg fell on the rock, the shell broke and a turtle climbed out. The queen mother conveniently picked up a basin of fairy water and poured it down. The tortoise was washed away by the water, ossified into a stone and lay motionless on the top of the mountain. The turtle's back was washed away by the water and sank into a small pool. No matter how dry it is, the water in the pool will never dry up, and it is regarded as "fairy water". Holding a handful of pool water can not only improve your eyesight and refresh yourself, but also eliminate disasters and ward off evil spirits. Guiyan Peak is the highest peak in Dongtou Islands. The tortoise on the peak is particularly eye-catching and has become a navigation mark for ships coming and going. It is called the "Holy Land of the East China Sea". & lt Guiyan beacon tower > About 1 km northeast of Guiyan, there is a beacon tower, and the site still exists.
