Folks in Urumqi once circulated the folk song "clouds cover the Demon Mountain, and the water on the ground floats boats". The soldiers and civilians of the Qing Dynasty who were stationed in the fields and built dams built eight buildings on the Spider Mountain at the end of the Demon Mountain in order to pray for the Demon Mountain to have clear rain and make people's wishes come true. The Lamiao Temple enshrines eight gods related to farming, including the God of Earth, God of Agriculture, God of Fields, and God of Insects, to pray for good fortune and blessings. Therefore, Demon Mountain is also known as Fushou Mountain and Lingying Mountain. Now, after years of afforestation, the Monster Mountain is now covered with green trees. "The three peaks are hidden in the green ring, and the twin towers have uneven shadows at night", which has become a scenic spot in Urumqi.
