Every year on the 3rd May and the 14th September, Catholics from all over China make pilgrimage to commemorate the finding of the Holy Cross. According to one Father, this mountain resembles the shape of the Valley Mountain where Jesus Christ was crucified, and it was named a holy place by a Roman Catholic Pope. The number of pilgrims is usually in the thousands, sometimes reaching even ten thousand.
