Narrative
A circular lake on Niutou Bandao (Niutou Peninsula), which is about 200 meters south-east to the Niutou Hu. The water empties into the sea from an over fall gap in the north. The lake is as bright as a mirror, just like an eye of a bull, so it was named Niuyan Hu in 1993 when the topography was mapped.
