The Spirit Turtle has long been regarded as a symbol of longevity.
According to ancient texts, a turtle turns white at one hundred years, grows hair on its back at one thousand years, and gains the ability to talk with humans at ten thousand years. Praying to a turtle that has reached ten thousand years would grant one a favorable response to their desires.
Lin Zhong Lake, crowned as a pearl on the Silent River, stands as a stronghold of education, offering a gateway between the inside and outside worlds.
Thanks to the abundant water vapour and ample food gathered on the lake's banks, many spiritually enlightened animals have made it their home.
In the East Lake Mud Pond that lines the eastern bank of the lake, there lives a large family of Longevity Turtles.
