Pilgrims are worshipping a ''sacred stone'' in Nanhe village, Bajiao Township, Enshi city, in Hubei province, Central China, on February 24, 2024. A three-meter-high bluestone is attracting countless people who are bringing sacrificial supplies and setting off firecrackers. Incense has been continuously burning at this site for decades, and the stone is referred to as the ''divine stone'' and ''godfather.'' Locals say the stone has been there for decades, surviving attempts to destroy it with explosives during the construction of a country road. There's a story of a driver who, overcome by fatigue, nearly drove off a cliff but was saved when he saw a red light emanating from the stone, which woke him up in time to brake. The grateful driver now regularly returns to worship the stone, draping it in red cloth and bringing various offerings.
