According to the information, Dongdongyu Village, Taihe Town, Zichuan District, is Baiquan Village, with a forest coverage rate of 86%, which is a veritable "oxygen bar village". Good ecological conservation has given birth to a number of historical springs such as pot springs, urine springs, lazy wife springs, etc., and more than 100 clear springs have converged into rivers that run through the north and south, becoming the famous "Baiquan Village". "Ancient Village", "Baiquan" and "Oxygen Bar" have become the three beautiful "business cards" and "golden signboards" with unique advantages of Dongdongyu Village. At the head of the village, I saw a two-hole stone bridge by the river, which was engraved with the words "Qunli Shengtian" built in 1958, and there was a five-pointed star on each side, like a canal.
