Why is the waters of the Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake called "Bermuda" in China?

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. Not historically, but now. There is a water area called Laoye Temple. This water area of Laoye Temple is a mysterious moss zone, which is called Bermuda Triangle in the East, because there have been many shipwrecks in this area in history.

The history can be traced back to the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and there can be corresponding literature records. The wealth robbed by the Japanese army tried to be transported by ship, and a shipwreck occurred when passing through this water area. Therefore, many fishermen have also had accidents in this area. According to incomplete statistics, more than 100 ships have sunk in this water area, and only a few dozen ships have real self-defense and transportation capabilities. Therefore, the water regime in this area is quite complicated, and it is called the Bermuda Triangle in the East.

Now, after a comprehensive investigation of the hydrogeological conditions of this water area, it is found that the topographic conditions of this water area are much more complicated than people think. Poyang Lake is as wide as 15km and as narrow as 3km. The water area of Laoye Temple is such a narrow place, because the lake suddenly tightens, which leads to the acceleration of water flow. This is just one of them. In addition, there are mountains on both sides. When the natural wind blows here, it will accelerate and produce big waves. Then five nearby rivers meet here in the waters of Laoyemiao, forming a water vortex. In addition, the geographical conditions are complicated.

This is not the confusion of assets, but the water situation here is too complicated and poses a great threat to passing ships. Up to now, there are still not many people passing through this mysterious waters. Unless they have to, the local people have a certain understanding of the meteorological conditions in this place. There will be windy weather every two days, and people will avoid these weather, which is relatively safe.
