It is truly a fairyland on earth.
Legend
It is said that Zongmu Mayuma was originally a dragon princess. Because she and the mountain god Ami Dongsu fell in love, they angered the heavens and were turned into two mountain peaks. These are Zhuoer Mountain and Niu Xin Mountain. From then on, the two looked at each other across the river, but could never embrace each other. Scenery
