Huang Qishan Park, the ancient Kannonji in Huang Qi, is located at the intersection of Dongguan Avenue and Dongcheng Middle Road, covering an area of 243 hectares. There are places of interest such as the Yellow Qifeng Lantern and Huang Qi Ancient Temple, as well as the newly-built Qifeng Park Plaza, the gatehouse, Qifeng Lake Scenic Area and restaurants. After the Tang Dynasty, it has been a holy place for Dongguan people to travel in spring, climb mountains and climb mountains. It will be one of the eight scenic spots in Dongguan in the future. After the Song Dynasty, Huang Qishan built Li Anquan Pavilion, Li Anquan Pavilion, Li Anquan Pavilion Temple, Li Anquan Pavilion Temple and Li Anquan Pavilion Water, which became "immortal water". Kannonji and temples are all over the country, but few have been discovered, rebuilt and preserved since the Song Dynasty. Huang Qi ancient Kannonji is really a rarity worthy of being cherished and protected by Dongguan people.

The construction of Kannonji in Huang Qi originated from a beautiful legend widely circulated among the people. During the reign of Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Dongguan suffered a rare drought and plague, which caused countless deaths and starvation. An alchemist (Mr. Feng Shui) came here from far away to pursue Long Mai. One morning, in Kannonji, the ancient Guanyin Temple in Huang Qi, he met a woman in white squatting on the ground and hurried to meet her. Suddenly, the woman in white left with white smoke, and purple clouds appeared in an instant (the reason why the roof tiles of Guanyin Ancient Temple in Huang Qi are now purple glass). The alchemist realized that this was the embodiment of Guanyin in the South China Sea, and expressed sympathy and inspiration to all beings. The alchemist vowed to build a Dojo here to worship Guanyin. The residents responded enthusiastically and it was built soon. On the day when the Hall of Great Heroes was completed and the statue of Guanyin opened, dew fell from the sky, the drought stopped, and the plague soon stopped.

Since then, for thousands of years, "there is no great disaster in Dongguan, but Guanyin Bodhisattva is difficult to solve" has become a popular saying among the people, and "going to worship Guanyin with the yellow flag" has become a traditional custom. The ancients said: "The mountain is the victory of the earth, and the temple is the victory of the mountain." Huang Qishan has become the Fushan of Dongguan people, and Kannonji of Huang Qi has become the Buddhist shrine of the majority of believers, which is the long-standing origin of this law. Guanyin culture in Huang Qi has become the most local cultural element in Dongguan.
