famous scenery

Dawang cave

In 1576, Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, led 200000 soldiers to suppress the uprising of Yao people in luopang. Gaozhou General Chen Yao was ordered to march on and set up camp in Huaixiang of Xinyi to attack Yao people on both sides of Huanghua river. At that time, the "king of meat wings" led the Yao people to fight against Chen Yu. They fought fiercely for many times and killed many officers and soldiers. But because of being outnumbered, they had to retreat to the stone cave (Dawang cave) on the stone wall by the Huanghua river. There are many thorns at the entrance of the cave. There is only one ancient vine. The only way to get in and out of the cave is to catch the vine up and down. The "king of meat wings" laid strong bows and sharp arrows at the entrance of the cave, and stood high to repel the invasion of officers and soldiers. Seeing that he could not make a hard attack, Chen Li withdrew his troops in the open and hid his troops under the cliff. When he looked out, he was cut in the neck by an ambush flying sword. His head fell into the Huanghua River and was washed to the beach at hutiaokou.
