The White Horse General Cave is named after Chen Chou Ju, who was nicknamed the White Horse General. Chen Chou Ju led a small army of guerillas fighting against the Japanese occupiers. They used the cave as a place of great strategic importance, because it was almost impossible to locate. It is located inside densely wooded and very steep hills outside the town.
The caves are not really cave systems, most of the caves are long shelters anlong the foot of the cliff face. But the overhanging roof provided a dry place for living and together with the forest made it difficult to find the guerillas.
