Today, Songshan Lake area is not only the origin of fragrant wood, but also the center of fragrant city. ? According to historical records, Aquilaria sinensis was introduced to Guangdong in the Tang Dynasty and was widely planted in the Song Dynasty. Because it is mainly concentrated in Dongguan, it is also called Wanxiang. There is a beautiful story about Wanxiang among local people: girls are responsible for washing and baking Wanxiang, and they often hide the best fragrant blocks on their chests to change powder, hence the name "Best Daughter Xiang". After planting, processing and packaging, Guanxiang was picked by manpower to Hong Kong and then transported to Southeast Asia, hence the name of Hong Kong Tongji Bridge.

There is a "Tongji Bridge" paved with stone slabs in Yueya Bay Valley Park of Songshan Lake. This is a stone bridge in the Song Dynasty. Ancient Dongguan people had the custom of crossing the bridge during the Lantern Festival. There is a proverb in Dongguan that "if you help the poor, there will be no closure", which means that if you help the poor, there will be no worries and worries, and everything will be smooth. Every year on the evening of the first lunar month 15 16, every household walks across Tongji Bridge with windmills, wind chimes and lettuce.

Later, because Hongfu Road needed to be demolished, it was "invited" to Valley Park by Songshan Lake Management Committee. You can take your family to Tongji Bridge and pray for a safe and smooth future. In the valley where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, trees are swaying, and the stone railings of ancient bridges are holding hands, the footsteps on the Millennium Bridge echo in my heart, and I cherish this "Xanadu"-like wetland ecological world. aqueduct

Aqueduct, located in the valley scenic spot, is a typical water conservancy facility during the agricultural Dazhai period in the 1960s and 1970s. The remaining aqueduct is 66 meters long and 75 centimeters wide, supported by 12 brick square columns, and is mainly used to divert water to irrigate farmland. Stopping under the aqueduct, staring at the slogan of the Cultural Revolution period on the square column of the aqueduct, the scene of the passionate burning years and the endless stream of water emerged in front of our eyes and echoed in our ears, which made people uneasy and deeply moved. There is a pillar standing like a giant pen in Songshan Lake. According to legend, Lai Buyi, a famous geomancer in the early Ming Dynasty, followed Long Mai all the way here.

Seeing mountains like golden hairpin, like seven fairy relics; Next to the Niumian Stone, it is the incarnation of the god cow, guarding the immortal relics here. Lai Buyi didn't dare to reveal the secret, so he put his brush in the ground with a copper sleeve, which meant that it was the treasure house of the champion, so the locals called it the champion pen. According to historical records, the ancestral grave was buried in the Qi family of Lichuan, the champion, and later generations worked hard. He went to Qishun for learning and chose the first place, but he broke the taboo, missed the first place and was awarded the second place. Later, he went to Korea and achieved success. Nowadays, the champion pen forms a scenic spot with Jinchailing and Niumian Stone, and it has also become a living teaching material for local people to inspire their children and grandchildren to study angrily. In August 2002, a group of Dongguan youths admitted to key universities planted a fragrant tree representing Dongguan's rich historical and cultural accumulation in Songshan Lake, which symbolizes the new direction of Dongguan's economic development, to express their deep nostalgia and ardent expectations for Dongguan's future, and called it "Wanying Garden".
