Traveling around the world (1532) Ningxia trip 3 - Tonghu Grassland

Tonghu, as the name suggests, means that the lake is connected. Hundreds of years ago, there was indeed a lake here. It is said that two lamas used copper pots to fetch water by the "Sun Lake" 60 kilometers away. The copper pot accidentally fell into the water. A few days later, a herdsman woman The copper pot was found here, and we knew that the underground water system of the two places was connected, so it was named "Tonghu Lake".
