Jieyushi (Fish Boundary Rock)
界鱼石
A curious rock on the Haimen River between Fuxian Lake and Xingyun Lake. Legend says fish from the two lakes turn back here and never cross.
Jieyushi stands in Haimen Village in Jiangchuan District, beside the Haimen River that links Fuxian Lake and Xingyun Lake. The rock is carved with the characters for Jieyushi, meaning Fish Boundary Rock. According to legend, the bighead fish of Xingyun Lake and the kanglang fish of Fuxian Lake both turn back when they reach this spot, so “where the two lakes meet, the fish do not cross” has become a local tale. In reality, the phenomenon is linked to differences in water quality and temperature between the two lakes. The surrounding lakeside wetland park is free to visit and pairs well with Gushan and Xingyun Lake.
