Lixin county tourism industry

From Yangguochu Dianji to Shaodukou in the south of Lixin, there is a big ditch called "rutting ditch", formerly known as "overlord ditch", which is said to have been left by Xi Chu's overlord car. Legend has it that Xiang Yu fled to Chudianji (formerly known as Chudianji) one day, which happened to be rainy and rainy, and the roads were impassable. Many land merchants were trapped and it was difficult to enter Xiashui (formerly known as Xihe River) for trafficking by boat. A salt merchant is willing to pay a high price to hire a trolley to push the salt onto a boat on the banks of the Xi Hui River. No one promised because of the heavy rain. Xiang Yu looked at the goods, tried the test run again, and promised the salt merchant. Xiang Yu was a teenager at that time, but he was born crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and his strength was endless. Pushing the car on the muddy road is effortless. He pushed for more than 30 kilometers in one breath until he reached the river bank and put the salt truck on board. After Xiang Yu pushed the cart, the road sank several feet, and the rain flowed south along the rut, getting wider and wider. People around you use the rut to dredge, dig deeper and deeper, and year after year, it becomes a big ditch. Later, people realized that the overlord of Chu pushed the car, so they called this ditch "Bawanggou".
