This question was discussed in a post of Xiqiao Forum. Some people said that it was for the following reasons ~ ~ It is for reference only, not necessarily true, just a rumor ~ ~
When Xiqiao Mountain was developed, the giant Guanyin statue was not recognized by the local villagers. The building is a bit "abrupt", and from the perspective of geomantic omen, it is also very uncoordinated. When it was built (I don't remember the year, about 2000), a flood washed away the Jiujiang Bridge, and the Beijiang levee was in emergency many times, which made the local people have unfavorable rumors about Xiqiao Mountain. }
Anyway, Xiqiao welcomes you ~ ~ ~ ~
