Dezhou's biggest historical attraction is the tomb of Sultan Paduka Pahala of Sulu (Philippines), who died in Dezhou on his return journey from a visit to the Yongle Emperor in 1417.
While he was welcomed by the emperor upon his arrival in China, he nevertheless contracted a mysterious disease on his way home and died at Dezhou, a town in Shandong province in China.

He was immortalised in the Filipino film Hari sa Hari, Lahi sa Lahi, which recounts his voyage to China to give tribute to the Chinese Emperor.
