A legend about Taoyuan Waterfall and Gold Tortoise

Tongle Waterfall, Yinxing Waterfall, Tianshu Cave, the coupling Chinese scholar tree, Taoyuan Waterfall and Yixiantian are some of the wonderful views of the scenic area. It is said that long long ago the place was hit by a severe drought and people could hardly live, so they came to the Qinglong Pool to pray for rain. An immortal turtle could not bear to see such a miserable condition and made it rain without permission. That’s done out of kindness but it did break the heavenly laws. As a punishment, the turtle was brought away by a powerful eruptible spout of the pool. People kept looking for it after that and got nothing but the trace of it in a cave on the opposite side of the pool one day. In memory of their savior, people burn joss sticks and offer sacrifice to it at festivals, with the wish of the turtle living there forever.
