The mountains are lush, the clouds are misty, the springs are gurgling, and the birds are chirping, making people feel relaxed and happy. The main attractions include Dianjiangtai and Shuanglong Cave. . Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, a nun practiced in a cave on the edge of today's Cangutuo. She planted mulberry trees in the mountains and taught people to raise silkworms and spin silk for a living. People respectfully called her "Cangu." After several years, she finally achieved her goal and ascended to heaven. Later generations built temples on the top of the mountain and made statues to commemorate her, respectfully calling her "Cangu Shengmu." The name "Cangutuo" also comes from this. .
