seven-fairies mountain 七仙岭

Seven-fairies Mountain is located in the central part of Hainan Island. This area has some natural hot springs.
We had the luxury of soaking in an open yet private man-made little hotspring pool overlooking the 7-fairies mountain.
Can you see or count there are 7 rocks?
These strange-looking rocks jut out of nowhere.
So I presume the locals wove a story to their existence.
.....
Once upon a time there were 7 fairies who descended to earth to enjoy the hotspring bath. They enjoyed themselves so much that they forgot their curfew hours. As a result they could not return home and were turned into those rocks. Hence the name for the mountain range.
