legend

It is said that a long time ago, on the Gongger grassland beside Dali Lake, there was a Mongolian young man named nimud who was loyal and persistent. Every day, nimud leads a small jujube horse to herd sheep by the Bank of Dali Lake, and every morning, afternoon and evening, he has to drink sheep and horses by the Bank of Dali Lake. Nimud loved his little jujube horse very much. He braided its mane and put on colorful wild flowers to make it look like a little girl. One night, nimud was holding a drink sheep by the lake. Suddenly, a huge wave came from the calm lake. A huge turtle came out of the wave. The big turtle bit the horse. The horse and the two silver stirrups on the horse were dragged into the bottom of the lake by the big turtle.

Nimud thought of his red horse day and night. He came to the lake every night when the red horse sank to the bottom of the lake and cried: my little horse, my old friend, since the day you were born, I have been pitying with you. No matter how fast the golden deer is, it's hard to follow you. No matter how fast the Yellow sheep is, it can't be with you Nimud came day after day, rain or shine, to pay homage to his red horse. One day, Aohai, the Dragon King of Dali Lake, went out on a tour and was deeply moved when he heard nimud's cry and sacrifice. With a wave of the Dragon King's hand, the big turtle was driven to the bottom of the sun to bask in the strong wind. An hour later, the tortoise confessed. He hid the red horse in Dali Lake and the silver stirrup in Duolun lake. The Dragon King said, "evil turtle, don't you return the horse and stirrup to others soon!" A sneeze, Dali Lake waves suddenly, jujube horse jumped out of the lake, stood in front of nimud, at the same time, two silver stirrups also jumped out of the lake. Thus, Dali Lake became a "horse" shaped lake, and Duolun lake became a "stirrup" shaped lake.
