Scenic spot description

Not far from the canyon, you can see a cylindrical valley with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 20 meters. It is like a huge urn. A clear spring flows down from the mountain, forming a waterfall with a drop of 15 meters. At the bottom of the valley, there is a deep and unpredictable pool of water, which is called "yanniu Lake". It is said that in ancient times, there was a severe drought, and even though the Ma River was cut off, people from dozens of miles around came here with donkeys to carry water. However, a bison in the mountain also came here to drink. He was so overbearing that he hurt many mountain people. When the Jade Emperor knew about it, he sent a long bearded catfish spirit to live in the lake secretly. One day, the bison came here to drink water again. With a probe, catfish essence put up its long beard, tightly entangled its horns, stretched it hard, dragged the bison into the lake and drowned, so it was named "channiu Lake".
