The origin of the name

Zhuquangou, also known as dashegou, is located in the northwest of Pingshan County, Hebei Province. Due to the inconvenient transportation, it is spared from human destruction and retains its original flavor. The name of pigsty ditch comes from two sources: one is because there are often groups of wild boars playing in the waterfall in the deep of the ditch, so it is called pigsty ditch. Second, because of its steep valley, shape similar to pigsty and get this name.

The valley is accompanied by clear streams. From time to time, streams flow to low-lying areas to form clear pools. There are countless pools. There are many small wild fish swimming in the pools. The waterfall is the characteristic of the scenic spot. The stone wall is very smooth by the running water all the year round. The black and white patterns on the stone wall are like dragons and phoenixes. The turbulent water seems to present her graceful dancing posture on the gorgeous stage. The first level of tight bets is like a twisting dragon. The water is fast and deep. It is like pounding and pounding. It roars.

On that level of spreading stone, it looks like a Xiaqi with jade and gold. Between the two waterfalls, there is a green pool. The shallow water is clear, but the deep water is invisible. Bitan silver waterfall, connected with each other, is decorated with a silver necklace with emerald beads. Climbing up from the stone crevice on the right side of the waterfall, you can reach the top of the waterfall. Through the woods and grass, a few steps away is another waterfall.

There are legends of "pig head mountain" and "pig head boiled in Tianguo" in the ditch. After being discovered by chance a few years ago, it became famous for its original natural ecological landscape of strange mountains and dangerous waters, different caves in Shimei, abundant grass and dense forest, fragrant flowers and birds. It has gradually become a cool place for Zhuangli people to spend the summer.
