Caizichi is located in the southern urban area. Legend has it that it was the pool where Cai Lun soaked and washed hemp heads, rags, and tree bark during papermaking in the Eastern Han dynasty. The pool covers about 200,000 mu and is lined with hemp stone. A stone bridge runs east-west through the center of the pool, dividing it into two pools, north and south. On clear moonlit nights, strolling on the stone bridge and lingering by the stone pavilion, one can see moon reflections in both the north and south pools, hence the famous saying 'The beauty of twin moons on Caizichi.' South of the pool are the Cai Hou Temple and the precious tripod. It has now been developed into the Cai Lun Memorial Park. The park integrates cultural relics and historic sites with cultural entertainment, making it an excellent place for people's activities and relaxation, and a base for patriotic education.
