Introduction to Tiger Jump: Legend has it that there is an old dragon living on Laolongtan Mountain, and a tiger living on Nanmulin Mountain. Dragon and tiger often fight each other, year after month, no one can win. One year, Laolong sent his two sons to the Phoebe Forest to fight fiercely with an evil tiger. The mountains shook and the earth shook, and the sky became dark. When the fight lasted for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, the tiger got hungry and stopped fighting to look for food. The big dragon and the little dragon were also tired, so they stopped in the water to rest. That night, the tiger found a fat pig weighing 300 kilograms at a nearby mountain man's house. The tiger dragged the pig up and ran away, while the mountain man pursued it with a nanmu stick. The tiger escaped to the stone trough and was about to take a rest. The big dragon and the little dragon saw it and quickly twisted their tails, causing the mountain to crack. With a loud noise, the mountain split into two halves, forming a long stone trough. The mountain people chased after the tiger. He dragged the pig into the air and jumped, but did not jump. He fell to the bottom of the trough and died immediately. The mountain people caught up with them and got both the tiger and the pig. They were so happy that they shouted: "Tiger Leap! The tiger can't jump!" The name Tiger Leap got its name and is still used today.
