Approximately seven kilometers along the road from the county to Zhangjiawan, a quiet forest trail leads directly to the Dahaiba Scenic Area. The "Nanxun Holiday Resort" here is enveloped by stretches of pine trees and uneven shrubbery. At the heart of the resort lies the vast and boundless "Shanchong Reservoir," whose edges are lined with stone steps—perfect for fishing or casual strolling. A crystal-clear stream gently cascades down from the gentle slope on the right, its sparkling sound as it hits the rocks attracting various wild animals such as birds, rabbits, and wildcats to come and drink. If you're interested, you can rent a fishing rod from the fish farm keepers and try your hand at angling to experience some authentic rural charm.

On this day, romantic young men and women hide among the pine forests, expressing their affection through melodious mountain songs. Legend has it that in the 1970s, a young man surnamed Wang fell in love with a girl who resembled "Liu Sanjie" while serenading her with songs. When he heard sorrow in her voice and realized she was already promised to someone else, he became so heartbroken from missing her that he passed away. Since then, his story of unwavering devotion has been told around Maochang and passed down as a beautiful tale. In the hot summer, you can spend a weekend with family or friends here, lying on soft pine needles, gazing up at towering pine trees and the blue sky, listening to the cheerful calls of cuckoos, then taking a refreshing dip in the "Shanchong Reservoir"—an experience full of joy.
