According to legend, an elderly man made a devout prayer that moved the gods, and from beneath a frog-shaped boulder, spring water began to gush forth, gradually forming the lake. To this day, people still circumambulate the lake to pray for bountiful harvests. There is one nunnery and one monastery by the lake.
The burial mound (stone coffin) cemetery site near the lake is also worth a visit—it is large in scale and dates back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
