In the river valley, the five peaks stand side by side, just like five old people leaning on their backs, standing and laughing, which is called "five old peaks". On the stone wall opposite to Wulaofeng, there is a strange stone standing out, which looks like a bridge pier. There are two big stone caves in the valley: one is at the mouth of Banjiang Valley, where water flows all the year round. It is called "Fenghuang cave". Later, it was blocked by the dam due to the construction of Banjiang reservoir, so there is no cave to find. The other is on the side of Jiuzi taipo mountain, which is dry all the year round, and it is called "Changsheng cave". Changsheng cave is a natural rock cave. It is said that he Picheng lived and helped the people by hanging a pot. Then he became an immortal. Later, the local people rebuilt the cave and built roads. For people to visit and worship.

The rhinoceros and horses on the side of Hexian spring are still on the stone. Wulao peak and Jiuzi taipo peak are lifelike.

In 1957, with the help of Soviet experts, the people's Government of Dongkou County dammed the downstream of Shuangjiangkou and built the Banjiang reservoir. In spring and summer, the reservoir water tumbles down from the dam and splashes, forming a very spectacular artificial waterfall, adding a bit of beauty to the beautiful Banjiang river.

Hexian Bridge

It is said that in the reign of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, he Picheng, who was once a privy inspector, saw Wei Zhongxian slandering the imperial court. The court was dark and treacherous officials were in charge. Many loyal officials of the imperial family were killed, so he resigned and went south. In 1633, he came to Banjiang and lived in seclusion in Changsheng cave. During the day, he opened up wasteland and cultivated land. At night, he played straw sandals under Songming. The sandals were hung at the entrance of the cave. Passers-by who had money threw a copper Take a pair of money and give a pair if you have no money. When he saw that he was hungry, he would give a red Ru or a potato to satisfy his hunger. If anyone had a cold or injury, he would go up the mountain to find some herbal medicine. It is said that there is a good man in Banjiang, he laoweng. After he died in 1644, people donated money and food for his funeral. Unexpectedly, the funeral team came to the foot of lion mountain. Suddenly, the sky was dark and the wind was strong. The coffin was blown to the top of the lion mountain by the wind. "Ants piled up the earth to form a grave." so people thought he became an immortal. in order to commemorate he Laoxian, people built the He Xian temple and he Xian bridge in front of Changsheng cave in 1667. It is said that during the construction of the Hexian bridge, the last stone could not be placed stably, and the bridge could not be closed. At this time, an old man came with a piece of tofu with a straw rope. He walked around the bridge, and then placed the tofu in the place of the last stone, and the bridge was closed.
