Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of martial artists once gathered at the "Dragon Pool Waterfall" in Longgu Cave Heaven to exchange martial skills. Suddenly, a beautiful young girl accidentally slipped and fell from a great height while collecting firewood with her father at the mountaintop. A graceful and chivalrous hero among the martial artists swiftly leapt to rescue her, saving her from harm. Later, many warriors acted as matchmakers, and the girl accepted his proposal. The warriors then celebrated their union by drinking and singing songs by the Dragon Pool. It is said that the couple lived happily ever after and often bathed together in the second pool, which later came to be known as the "Mandarin Duck Pool." Hence, Longgu Cave Heaven is also called the "Valley of Love and the Waterfall of the Dragon."
