One day, he dreamed that the Buddha revealed that the story of lotus touched the jade emperor, and he was honored in the sky and was named "Lotus Fairy". Years of yearning for the lotus erupted like a volcano. The stone monk ran desperately to the lake and called lotus to the sky until he was hoarse. Finally, he fell to the lake, but he still looked up at the sky and called his wife's name day and night until his breath died and his life ended.
Thousands of years have passed, and the stone monk's body has become a giant reclining Buddha lying by the lake. Lotus, which is included in the immortal class, is not indifferent, but because of the rules of heaven, she can't go down to earth. When she saw Shi Xing die for her own grief, she was so sad that she knelt down and begged Taibai Venus to save Shi Xing.
Taibai Venus felt the affection of the lotus couple and pleaded for the lotus in front of the Jade Emperor. Under the guarantee of Taibai Venus, the Jade Emperor finally allowed Lotus to leave Nantianmen in mid-September every year and threw the elixir from the sky into the mouth of Shixing.
From then on, every year when the sun is about to set in mid-September, you can clearly see a red, bright and round then falling from the sky and slowly falling into the open mouth of the reclining Buddha on the Buddha's viewing platform or cruise ship in Fairy Lake. This is the astronomical wonder that Zhaoqing Xinghu can see only a few days a year and only half an hour a day-sleeping Buddha with Dan.

Introduction of scenic spots
1, Tianzhu Star
The best viewing spot is on the east side of Qixing Bridge. Tianzhu Rock in the distance is like a Tianzhu with a star pavilion on it. On both sides of the green net box river, there is a lake and picturesque scenery. Tianzhu Rock is about114m high, which is the highest peak in Qixing Rock. One peak stands on the wall, towering into the sky, just like the towering pavilion on the peak, which is the tallest building in the Seven Star Rock.
2. Three Immortals View
Founded in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it was originally named Xueyuan Temple. It is named after the statues of Lv Dongbin, Han Zhongli, and Li Tie Monster enshrined in the temple. The building faces south, with a wide view in front and lush trees around it, forming a unique "cliff forest" scenery, which is very fairy and is a rare place of Feng Shui.
3. Archie Range Rover
Qixingyan archway is located in the center of Zhaoqing, on the square where Duanzhou Road and Tianning North Road intersect. The archway spans three spans, and the people of China and Marshal Zhu De inscribed the word "Seven Star Rock" in the middle of the archway. This is the sign of the south entrance of Qixingyan Scenic Area.
Behind the archway is a well-defined distant mountain near the water. There are large fountains and performance stages in the square, which is an important cultural and entertainment place. Inside and outside the archway are places where tourists gather and distribute, where you can enjoy the urban scenery of Zhaoqing and the scenery of Qixingyan.
