Legends about the ends of the earth
The two big stones "Tianya" and "Cape" also have their origins. It is said that a pair of lovestruck men and women came from two feuding families, and their love was opposed by their own people, so they were forced to flee here, and they both jumped into the sea and turned into two huge stones, always facing each other.

Later generations carved the words "Tianya" and "Cape" to commemorate their faithful love. Later, men and women often used "the ends of the earth will always follow" to show their intention.

According to legend, a long time ago, the sea around Li 'an in Lingshui was surging, and people's lives were difficult. When the two fairies under the Queen Mother knew it, they sneaked down to the earth and stood in the South China Sea to guide local fishermen to fish.

The heavenly queen was angry and sent Lei Gong and Rem to take them back, but they refused, turned into a double-peaked stone and was split into two pieces. One piece landed in the sea near Li 'an, and the other piece flew to the ends of the earth, becoming the "South Column".
