Introduction to Crater Lake: Crater Lake is actually a small reservoir. It is crystal clear and sparkling all year round, quite like a fairyland on earth. Legend has it that this lake is the place where seven fairies take an ice bath. They come from heaven every day and leave again before dark. As time passed, the traces of the seven fairies were discovered by Ajiwu, the god of fire guarding the lake. In order to witness the seven fairies bathing every day, he decided to set fire to all the surrounding forests. As a result, the entire Dawei Mountain turned into a barren mountain, and the small lake also disappeared. This incident angered the Jade Emperor in heaven. While he sent King Tota down to capture the volcano god and punish him, he also ordered the seven fairies to return to Dawei Mountain with the seeds. The seven fairies scattered the tree seeds on Dawei Mountain according to their father's wishes. The next day, the lake water returned to its former clear blue color; only the mountains were greener and the water was clearer.
