This is the only clean district in the province designated by the Ministry of Environment, and is also home to lenoks, which are natural monuments. 3km upstream from the 3.8 bridge is located a pond called Yongso with clear deep waters, and according to legend, a pregnant spotted an ascending dragon, which fell and created the pond. Traveling up from Yongso for an hour are many small and large waterfalls and ponds, and finally there is a great waterfall.
