One of the 'three pits': a deep, secluded boulder-lined canyon between Niulankeng and Liuxiangjian, with tea terraced up its sides.

The usual story is that the water here flows 'backwards' compared with nearby streams. But the TeaForum compilation gives that backward-flowing trait to Liuxiangjian (which runs north while most local streams run west to east), and one passage there even says Daoshuikeng was renamed Liuxiangjian. No authoritative etymology found.
Community translations describe a deep canyon with huge boulders on both sides, tea terraced up the slopes, good shade and short summer sun, walls that keep out cold winter winds (so a small temperature range), and seepage along the floor keeping it humid; soil free-draining, moderately acidic, rich in potassium and manganese, with moss. It lies deep in the scenic area between Niulankeng and Liuxiangjian, beside Guidong. Daoshuikeng was one of the zhengyan sampling sites of the 2025 CASB study. The name means 'water-pouring/reversed-water pit'; the usual explanation — that its water runs against the general direction — is not confirmed by a good source (see ambiguity).
