Laoxiangfeng, literally meaning old elephant hill, (also called Shenxiangfeng, meaning fairy elephant hill) gets its name from a legend that the fairy elephant of a Taoist goddess met its perfect mate here. So it is regarded by many as a place to pray for love.

It is also said that from a pavilion on the hill you can see elephants watching monkeys. The name of the place has the same pronunciation as the Chinese phrase for being conferred a noble rank and becoming a minister, so this scenic area is also considered an auspicious place to pray for good fortune and a job promotion.
