Hudongshui Scenic Area (湖洞水旅游区)

There are many nice views as the Sanniang Cave, Echo Cave and General Cave are located in the Hudongshui Scenic Area. Sanniang Cave was named after folklore. Legend says it happened in the Qin dynasty when many people were forced to build the Great Wall. A man called Qin Da could not bear the hardship anymore and escaped, hiding in a mountain. His wife, his daughter and a daughter-in-law went to the mountain to find him. But it is very strange because they shouted at this mountain and when he answered in that mountain while they went to that mountain, his sound was heard at this mountain. So year after year, the three women had never found Chen Da. They lived in the cave until death. It was the so-called Sanniang Cave (Three Women Cave).

Echo Cave is located just opposite of Sanniang Cave. The cave itself cannot hear the echo, but it is interesting that sound can clearly be heard from Sanniang Cave. General Cave is used to memorize He Mingdeng---a soldier in the Balujun Army who had died heroically in the Anti-Japanese War. A Gleam of the Sky is a narrow gorge with a deep pond of water at the bottom, and Yanchi Cliff (Swallow Wing Cliff) is a natural habitat for thousands of swallows and orioles. There are many activities available for visitors such as paddling a boat on the lake, mountaineering and picking fresh fruit in autumn. In addition, Modern dining and accommodation facilities and indoor entertainment are also available for tourists.
