    Legend says that two high ranked Chinese visitors came to see the area hearing its good reputation. However, they turned back when they came across two gigantic rocks that were on their way and gave up to go any further. This shows how deep in the mountain people though of this area in old days. But don't worry roads are paved now and the slopes are generally gentle.
