Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake

This is a magical water area. It looks quiet now, but the boatman knows that there are always hidden dangers here. In the blink of an eye, the wind suddenly came. If we can't land in time, it will be born to die. Huge waves beat against the hull, and water poured into the boat from all directions. Even with more experience, there is nothing I can do. As long as it takes more than ten minutes, it will be buried under the water and disappear without a trace. Then, the waters will immediately return to calm. Local fishermen call it the Devil's Triangle, and some people call it China Bermuda.

In the north of Jiangxi Province, on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there is a vast expanse of water, which is Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. Whenever the news of fishing comes, the fishing boats on the lake will be busy because of the harvest, and the market along the lake is also a busy and happy harvest scene. However, in this calm and serene Poyang Lake, there is a gloomy and horrible death zone. Because there is an old temple on its east bank, people call it "the water of the old temple". For thousands of years, I don't know how many ships have been ruthlessly swallowed up by the lake here. However, even more bizarre is that thousands of tons of cargo ships mysteriously disappeared in this water with a water depth of only 18 meters. No matter how people look for it, they are not found. This is similar to Bermuda.

Why does the huge Poyang Lake only sink in the Laoye Temple? Where did those lost ships go? Is there really a legendary water monster at the bottom of this lake? Or does the time tunnel really exist? Various strange sayings have cast a mysterious veil over this water area. Perhaps it is full of legend to outsiders, but how do the local fishermen who live with it feel?

Generally, this place is called the gate of hell, which is more sinister. Several ships sank in one day, all of which were large ships of 400 to 500 tons. This place, I don't know, is a little weird.

2001110/0.9, Huaiyuan county, Anhui province, the sand carrier 0 157 1 was about to leave the waters of the old temple, but the disaster suddenly came.

That storm also came very strangely. You can usually look at the weather. If there is a big storm, you should rely on the boat. The storm came too suddenly.

In a blink of an eye, the wind was blowing and the turbid waves were rolling. The fishing boats not far from the shore came ashore one after another, while the sand carrier was in the middle of the lake. Tobey Wu, who lives on the shore, vaguely saw that the cargo ship was still in the lake in the yard, and hurried to the lake, watching the sand carrier spinning in the lake not far away, but Tobey Wu was helpless because of the heavy wind and waves. At this time, the sand carrier is only 1.5 km away from the shore.

It sank in more than ten minutes.

We saw that it had sunk. It was a sunken ship.

Like a sudden attack, the storm quickly disappeared after more than ten minutes, and the lake was calm as if nothing had happened. At this time, Tobey Wu and other villagers immediately started water rescue. Immediately, several fishing boats rowed to the middle of the lake at the same time. Due to the frequent accidents in this area, local fishermen have become accustomed to saving people spontaneously and act quite quickly. Even so, unfortunate things happened.

Of the five people on board, three died and two were rescued. He is a sister, a lover and a son. Saved my wife and son, and all three sisters died.

For the living, this will be a place where hearts are broken forever.

For thousands of years, no one has figured out how many ships sank in these waters. All we can see is the record of major water accidents of Jiujiang Maritime Safety Administration in recent decades.
