The diameter of the fountain pool is 24 meters, and it is about 16 meters high. It has four floors, and there are 6 turtles on the bottom floor. , the second and third floors are 12 jade statues of "fairies from all over the world", and the top floor is the jade statue of fairy aunt, which is known as "the best jade sculpture fountain in the world". Around the square, there are also the four mythical beasts of heaven and earth, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu, congratulating the fairy on her birthday. There is also a legend about the fairy aunt celebrating her birthday: There was a woman named Guo in Guojiazhuang at the foot of Weifeng Mountain. She brought a piece of jade with her when she was born, and she was nicknamed Yugu. Yugu's family was originally a fisherman in Weihai. Her mother died young and she had only one father who was frail and sick. Later, Gu Gu married a man, and her husband was also a fisherman. Every time Yugu's husband went to sea to fish, Yugu would go to the top of Weifeng Mountain, hold up the jade and look at the sea, praying for peace. The husband often comes home with a full load. However, one time, Yugu's husband was going to go fishing again. Yugu was not in good health. Her husband was afraid that Yugu would go to the mountain to pray again, so he secretly took Yu out to sea. However, he encountered a big storm and did not come back for a long time. Yugu was so worried that she went to the top of Weifeng Mountain every day to pray and wait for her husband to return. Day after day, year after year, when her hair and clothes turned white, her husband did not come back. Her sincerity moved God, so he transformed her into a god. Every year on March 15th of the lunar calendar, it is Xiangu's birthday. On this day, the local Xiangu Temple Fair is held here. It is said that anyone who comes to Xiangu Peak on this day can catch the blessings of Xiangu's spiritual energy, and will have good luck all year round.
