Dozens of scenic spots such as "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon", "Nine Dragons Waterfall", "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", "Blue Sea Islands", "Yin Yang Boundary", and "Tongtian Road" are picturesque. Classic legends such as "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf", "Guan Gong Sharpening the Knife", and "Niu Family Courtyard" are well known to women and children.
