Granite stone sculpture "fairy grants pear" a beautiful legend
The sculpture of "fairy giving pear" is 7.5 meters high and 4.5 meters wide; the base is 4.5 meters long and 3.7 meters wide, all made of granite. Now this sculpture has become one of the main attractions in the Wanmu Liyuan Scenic Area.
According to legend, a long time ago, there used to be a wide and beautiful Qingbo Lake in the Liyuan area. Fairies from the sky often came here to play. One day, the Seven Fairies stole the fairy pears from the Tiangong orchard for the queen mother and the empress, and after coming to Qingbo Lake with her sisters to taste it, she threw the fairy pear cores on the lake.
Several spring and autumn past, several fairy pear trees with deep leafy roots and full yellow fruits grew on the shore. Seeing this, the fairies felt sad at the same time they were happy: if this matter were known to the queen mother, they would definitely be punished. At this time, a group of ducks swam from the lake, and the Seven Fairies had an idea to cast a spell to turn the neck of Xianli into a duck head shape. In this way, the fairy pear becomes a Yali pear, making the natural fairy fruit survive in the world. In the early years, Qingbo Lake became Qingpowa due to drying up, and several pear trees growing by the lake have multiplied into large pear orchards, which is a blessing for the future. Yangxin Yali is therefore known as the "Fairy Fruit on Earth" and is famous all over the world.
