Guangzhou
Guangzhou ,and the beautiful fairy tale
Once upon a time,there were five fairies that happened to land to Guangzhou, riding on five rams with paddy held in their mouth. The fairies bestowed the paddy to the local people and blessed that hunger would never occur. Then the fairies flew away with wind, leaving five tams that turned into rock statues later. There thus comes the name “City of Rams”or”City of Paddy” for Guangzhou.
