The Four Girls Mountains get their name from a famous local legend. It is said that the place was once hard-hit by chilling northern winds, which devastated the locals' livelihoods. One day, four sisters from some remote southern region turned into four mountains to shield the place from the winds' attacks. The area then became warm and sunlit, with rich harvests of grain and fruit. In honor of the four sisters' great deed, local people named the mountains after them.
