They say there's a water monster in Changbai Mountain? What's going on?
At home and abroad, everywhere there are rumors about the "water monster" legend. In foreign countries, the most famous "water monster" is the "Loch Ness Monster"; and in the country, the most typical "water monster", is said to exist in Jilin Changbai Mountain Tianchi, Xinjiang Kanas Lake and Sichuan Hunting Lake in the "water monster". So, what is the matter with these "water monsters"? Tianchi water monster In recent years, China's Jilin Changbai Mountain Tianchi, Xinjiang Kanas Lake, as well as the Sichuan Hunting Tower Lake frequent "water monster" sightings, by the "water monster" enthusiasts and media attention. So, people see those huge, strange image of the "water monsters" in the end is what? More than 20 years of sightings Changbai Mountain, located in southeastern Jilin Province, is China's largest active volcano. Total water storage capacity of 2 billion cubic meters of Tianchi is located on the summit of Mount Changbai, is a volcanic eruption after the formation of the crater lake. A section of the border between China and North Korea runs through the lake, making Tianchi a boundary lake. The eastern shore of Tianchi is in North Korea, and visitors from China usually view Tianchi from the northern and western slopes. A Cheonji weather station was built on the north slope, which is the closest building to Cheonji in our country. On October 9, 1980, Guangming Daily published an article titled "Eyewitness Account of the Monster in Tianchi", in which the author said that at 4:00 a.m. on August 21, 1980, he was watching the sunrise in front of the gate of the weather station in Tianchi when he suddenly found a "monster" on the surface of the water in the distance, which was as big as an ox with a head as large as a basin, and was flying toward the weather station. It was swimming rapidly toward the weather station, dragging a long horn-shaped rowing line behind it. That day's issue of Guangming Daily was rumored to have been passed around. From then on, for more than 20 years, people kept claiming to have seen the mysterious "water monster" in Tianchi. In July 1994, Jilin University Professor Zhou Jiewen took more than a dozen photos of the "water monster" in Tianchi, but because the distance was too far away, the photo effect was not good, and could only vaguely distinguish two herringbone shaped paddling lines. But at that time with Professor Zhou peer of a person with the help of 20 times the telescope to see the clues, he said that the "water monster" head seems to be black, it turned over when the stomach is visible white. Zhou Fengying of Jilin Meteorological Bureau had to go to Tianchi Meteorological Station to overhaul the communication equipment every year before he retired, and he often took binoculars to overlook Tianchi after work. From the 1960s, he had seen unknown creatures in Tianchi more than once. He saw the "water monster" generally appear in pairs, as if a large and a small in the water play, chase, a moment to dive into the water, a moment and then out of the water. 1980 August 23 morning, Zhou Feng Ying is a person in the Tianchi side of the picking stones, and suddenly heard a few comrades of the meteorological station shouted from the top of the hill: "Look behind you, there's another monster!" At that time, they were less than 20 meters from the pool, heard the shouts and hurried to the lake to see, only to see a two-eyed round and unusually bright, mouth open, the appearance of a very scary "monster", is hair "ha, ha" strange sound to them to swim. "Monster" of the two ears seem to be drooping, face for the rectangular, head out of the water more than 1 meter, the neck on the thin under the thick. The face of this unexpected "monster", the two were at a loss for words, while the "monster" continues to approach them. At that moment, thunder and lightning began to strike on the western hill, and then it started to rain, and the "monster" turned its head and swam to the depths of the Tianchi Pond. Zhou Fengying later recalled that the "monster" had a white chest, a grayish-black body, a bit of light, and no scales on its body, as if it had fur. The "monster" showed its teeth, which were very sharp. Years later, in the Zhou Feng Ying found the "monster" of the waters, there are two young people encountered the "monster". One day in early July 2002, the weather was particularly good, Changbai Mountain under the town of Erdao Baihe chef Liu Bo and his friend Xue Junlin together to the Tianchi photo. Around 4:00 p.m., the two men took a few pictures and then picked up stones at the water's edge. The two men walked farther and farther in different directions. When Liu Bo came to the Tianwenfeng neighborhood, the sky was still bright and the tile blue lake was very calm. Suddenly, he saw a black "monster" out of the lake, smooth head, as big as a car tire, shaped like a pot cover. The "monster" just emerged from the surface of the water did not swim, like floating on the surface of a large black garbage bag, but then began to follow Liu Bo, Liu Bo to the left "monster" to the left, Liu Bo to the right "monster" to the right, but also to the right, but the "monster" to the right, but the "monster" to the right, but the "monster" to the right. "also to the right, but always with the lake shore to maintain a distance of more than 100 meters. See this situation, Liu Bo rushed to find Xue Junlin. Xue Junlin heard the suspicion that the boat drifted over from the North Korean side, because the past when the wind happened such a thing, but Liu Bo that the "monster" since it can go against the wind, it must be an animal. The two argued while walking to the windy place to picnic. After the meal is dark, through the faint moonlight, Xue Junlin curiously toward the lake. He walked to the lake to see, suddenly stunned: about 30 meters away from the shore of the water, there is a big "black guy", especially bright eyes, glowing blue-white light. Xue Junlin shouted: "Liu! Come over and see if it's this thing?" Liu Bo hurriedly ran over with the flashlight. In fact, even without the flashlight, they also vaguely saw the "black guy" is against the water waves "whirring" swimming toward the shore. Liu Bo flashlight, "monster" eyes can actually reflect. Xue Junlin hurriedly picked up two stones to the "monster", only to see the "monster" a turn to the center of the lake to swim, the two boys also scared to turn and run. The latest sighting reports on the Tianchi "water monster" the most recent sighting occurred in July 2005. On July 7, Zheng Changchun, who lives in Fusong County, Jilin Province, went to Tianchi early in the morning with his newly purchased video camera and his family. They arrived at the top of the mountain at about 9:15 a.m., when there was a heavy fog over Tianchi and nothing could be seen. In fact, it is not easy to get a good weather in Tianchi, which is 2189 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, cloudy and foggy, cloudy and sunny, and it is difficult for tourists to see the beauty of Tianchi on the mountain. But they are really lucky, less than 10 minutes, the fog slowly dispersed, Zheng Changchun hastily took out the camera to the family camera. When he panned the camera to the water, suddenly found a very conspicuous black spot on the churning water. What is this? He rushed to use high-powered binoculars to take a closer look, and found that it was an animal with a black head and a bit of white on both sides. At that time, he also filmed it with a video camera. Unfortunately, the resolution of a home video camera is too low, and only a huge circle of circular water ripples could be seen on the video he took. However, Zheng Changchun firmly believe that what he saw was an animal. I did not expect a few days later, this "monster" in the north bank of the Tianchi again, and was also photographed. The person who took the picture is the Changbaishan Mountain Protection Bureau of scientific research staff Huang Xiangtong, he was in the north bank of the Tianchi called "Mending Stone" on the high hill shot the mysterious "monster". From the photo taken by Huang Xiangtong, the "monster" is very much like a goose taking off. According to Huang Xiangtong said, when he looked through the binoculars, "monster" like a whale or submarine floating out of the water, the water from its body down, the body of the "fins" clearly visible. The body of the "monster" is brownish-black, relatively smooth, streamlined, with a white crescent-shaped pattern on the chest. Before and after the interval of just a few days, the mysterious "monster" appeared twice, coupled with so many witnesses in the past to prove that, so, people saw the "monster" what is it? There are a variety of claims.
