New Yangnv Lake is a typical mud volcano of the mud pot type, continuing the mud volcano chain on top of Wushan. Due to its high water content, it has gathered into a lake. The lake is also known as ‘Boiling Water Lake’ because of the continuous eruption of black mud resembling boiling water at the lake’s center, accompanied by the sound of bubbling. Legend has it that long, long ago, there was an adopted daughter living near Yangnv Lake who was deeply in love with a young man from the same village. However, her adoptive mother forced her to marry a different brother, leading the couple to drown themselves in the lake out of love. In memory of this tragic tale, the lake was named ‘Yangnv Lake’.
New Yangnv Lake is located on private land, with the landowner thoughtfully providing observation decks and rest facilities around the lake. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Yanchao’s scenery here. The lake is open to the public from 08:00 to 18:00 all year round.
