Ocean worship area
The worship of the sea here has a long history and mysterious religious culture.

As early as the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gave the West Sea God the title of "Guangrun Palace", and in the first year of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was added as "Tongsheng Guangrun Palace". Every year from April, local temple monks and religious believers will come here to stew mulberry and worship. When "simmering mulberry", the most taboo is to throw unclean stolen goods into the lake and dig stones and soil around the spring. This kind of sacrifice activity of simmering mulberry is very sacred in the minds of all religious believers. They are not only offering sacrifices to gods and sacred lakes, but more importantly, they use the smoke generated by burning aromatic plants such as cypress leaves, azaleas and grains to purify their hearts, bless themselves, their families and friends and realize their wishes.
