On the opposite river side of the Taoyuan villiage and 44km from the Guilin city, there is a huge stone measured 3 meters in diameter on the top of the hill. The round and flat shape of the stone makes it look like a mill and it is called "magical mill". Beside the mill, a nearly 3 metter high leaning stone looks like a man pushing the mill.They are so vivid that they were named "the Immortal pushes a mill" and also called "Tuimo hill"(push the mill).The legend goes that there were poor peasants and one rich landlord in the villiage. The peasants worked hard all around the year but they could not afford to enough clothes to wear and food to eat. An immortal came to the villige and pushed the mill to make rice for the peasants from a cave. The peasents called it " cave putting out rice ". The landlord wanted to forcibly seize the cave. However, a wind swept off the landlord into the river.
