On one side of the mountain, on the hillside, there is an old temple called Liangying temple. There is also an old legend about this ancient temple: in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a mountain stronghold was built on the top of Maotou mountain. The king of this mountain stronghold is Liang Ying. He owns a lot of land. Because the mountain is very high and steep, it is easy to defend but hard to attack! Relying on its unique geographical conditions, the Shanzhai lived an unorganized and anarchic life, oppressed and enslaved the local people, and occupied most of the local land for a long time. Once Liang Ying, the king of Shanzhai, told the local people that anyone who could attack him, defeat him and pass the visible rice fields on the top of the mountain would give it to them. There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward. The local government or the non-governmental organizations that are not afraid of death have repeatedly recruited troops to attack the Shanzhai, but they all failed and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, it was nothing. Until one time, a farmer, who was herding sheep, passed by and heard such a story

At last, on a dark and windy night, on the horns of hundreds of his sheep, each with two sticks of incense, they drove the sheep to the mountain. That night, suddenly they saw a piece of fire at the foot of the mountain, moving up the mountain at a non-human speed. Even if it was very steep, there were places where people could not climb All of a sudden, the whole stronghold panicked and thought that it was a ghost. As a result, there was turmoil inside the stronghold. Everyone began to loot property and fight against each other. In the face of the approaching fire, many bandits fled for their lives. Finally, the stronghold King fought until dawn and found that the "enemy" attacking them was a group of sheep. He was so angry that he fainted and died Lai secretly jumped down from the cliff on the other side of the mountain stronghold. The amazing thing is that the local people couldn't find his body. Everyone thought Liang Ying had risen to heaven, so they built a temple on the hillside to commemorate Liang Ying. Later, the farmer also got a lot of land and gave it to the local farmers, which was a good story at that time``````

There is a hole on the hillside of the mountain facing the reservoir. The stone gate is 30 meters thick. It has been closed. There is only one crack left, just enough for people to climb in. In the 1970s and 1980s, there were many people who wanted to go in, because it was said that there were boxes of gold and silver left by the Japanese devils during the Anti Japanese War (it was true that some devils passed here during the Anti Japanese War), but the people who went in could never get out. The people who couldn't get in said that after they went in, no matter the flashlight or torch would not work, and they would easily get lost.

This is the legend, since then, no one dare to take a step closer. Up to now, due to a large number of felling trees, some businessmen have opened a very rugged mountain road, but it is very dangerous. Only the rear drive can drive it up. It takes at least two hours to drive a motorcycle to the top of the mountain. However, the scenery there is very good. It's easy to have the feeling of "seeing all the people down the mountain" on the top of the mountain, which is very valuable for tourism
