Jingxi stone is dangerous and cautious, but it has no taste of overturning people all the year round.
The rocks on the Jingxi River are very dangerous and the waves are very urgent. Passers-by are very careful, and you won't hear the news that someone accidentally fell in and drowned all year round.
But there is no stone in the advection, and it is always said that there is sinking.
It is precisely where the water is slow and there is no reef, but it is often heard that people are drowned.
