Introduction to Wanzhou Ancient Temple: Legend has it that every time fishermen go fishing and pass this island, the waves are very strong, and boats are often washed away by the waves. One day, an eminent monk came to the fishing port to watch the fleet returning from a distance and passed by Wanzhou Island. He found that the waves around Wanzhou Island were rolling like white centipedes one by one, attacking the passing ships. Wanzhou Island was seen from the mainland. It used to look like a rooster, so the eminent monk told the fishermen that they should build a temple on Wanzhou Island and release some roosters to break the big waves on Wanzhou Island. The fishermen thought it made sense, so they built an ancient Wanzhou temple on Wanzhou Island and released some roosters according to the eminent monk's wishes. Since then, the sea has been calm and the catch is full. The fishermen feel that the monk's method is very effective, so every time the fishermen want to go to sea, they will release a rooster on Wanzhou Island to accumulate merit and protect the fishermen's safety when going to sea.
