Folk custom of cliff stone carvings in Yanling, Shipai Town: Yanling was originally an ancient quarry here in Dongguan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some of them were similar to the formation of the most famous Lotus Mountain in Guangdong. Stone is water rock red stone. After hundreds of years of mining, many stone walls and columns remain dark pink and are called "eighteen rooms" by locals. There are four regular script characters "Xian Qin Yan Ling", which are cliff stone carvings inscribed by Sun Shuang in the 16th year of Guangxu (1890), each with a size of 0. 1 square meter. The above stone carvings are well preserved and have certain artistic value of calligraphy. There is a poem saying: "Elegant, broad-minded and fat, building a house and extending the mausoleum, everything is quiet, the fish in the pond chase after the plum, the flowers and birds crow red, Meilinming, the breeze is green, people are happy together, the scenery is suitable, the mountains are beautiful, and books are given to Ming Feng." However, this scenic spot has not been well developed. Only some people who are looking for secluded places to explore ancient times like to come here, and they can also learn about the development process of ancient quarries and have a certain understanding of the development of ancient history. It is said that the local government is preparing for development, because Lianhua Mountain has been well developed and has become a famous scenic spot in Guangdong Province.
