Narrative

An internal cove surrounded by Jiulong Bandao, Wuyue Bandao and Kunlun Quanshan. The coast of three sides are steep. An unlimited image is created in a limited space, which makes us feel quiet and mysterious, as if we've just intruded into a fairyland. It was named when surveying and mapping in 1993.
