In the vast expanse of Songhua Lake, there is an emerald-like island, known as the "Five Tiger Island". There is a beautiful and moving legend circulating locally about the origin of the name of this island.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a water monster in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain. It occupied the beautiful and kind-hearted Princess Songhua in the Songhua River and gave birth to Princess Baili. Things have changed, and the time has passed. In a blink of an eye, Princess Baili is now sixteen years old and looks tall and graceful. , Chuchu moving. She was tired of the monotonous life in the palace, and got her mother's permission to go out to play. Just as she was having fun, she suddenly crashed into the net and was pulled out of the water by the fishermen. The fisherman was a young man in his twenties. Seeing that I had caught such a silver carp, I was so happy that I reeled in the net, swung the oar, and rowed back home happily. Just as the boat was about to dock, the silver carp suddenly spoke: "Let me go." Come on, let me go!" The young man saw it with tears in its eyes and looked at him with pleading eyes. The young man suddenly felt pity and picked up the big fish and put it into the river. After the big fish entered the water, it surfaced from time to time. The water surface seemed to be nodding to him to thank him.
The young man who fished was named Danniu. He lived in a small mountain village called Wangqi by the river. He made a living by fishing. One evening, he wanted to catch a fish. I made the last net, and then rowed home. Unexpectedly, when I raised the net, I saw the big white silver carp again. Just as I was about to put it back into the water, the big white silver carp suddenly turned into a beautiful girl with a shy face, and said with a smile: "You The fish you released once was me, you have such a kind heart." and expressed her love for the young man. At this time, the fish soldiers and shrimps sent by the water monster were chasing after them. Seeing that they were only a stone's throw away, Songhua followed behind. The princess hurriedly took off a five-strand golden hairpin from her head and threw it with all her strength. It immediately turned into a big mountain, blocking the path of the pursuers. Only then did Princess Baili and Da Niu escape. After that, Da Niu and Princess Baili became husband and wife. The big mountain formed by the five golden hairpins was named Wugu Mountain from then on. Later generations saw that the Wugu Mountain looked like five tigers lying on each other, so it was renamed Wuhu Mountain. Since Fengmang built the dam, the water level has risen, and Wuhu Mountain It became the Wuhu Island in Songhua Lake today. Today's Wuhu Island, with lush green vegetation, well-proportioned pavilions, small bridges and deep winding paths every summer, has become a well-known tourist attraction. Thousands of domestic and foreign tourists come to the island for vacation on comfortable and luxurious cruise ships.
