- Three kilometers (1.86 miles) from the Fragrant Stream is the Military Books and Precious Sword Gorge. As its name implies, the gorge has stones very like books and a sword. Legend has it that when the wise strategist Zhuge Liang (181 - 234) went through this passage, he hid his military books and precious sword on the crags and waited for brave and brilliant people to find them.
As a matter of fact, the so-called books are burial objects on the cracks of cliffs following ancient customs, and the 'sword' is a rock pole like a huge and mighty sword with relief.
