On that day, Zhangjiajie Maoyan River Scenic Spot sent out a call for the world to name this "heart" shaped Tiankeng Lake.
Tiankeng “Heart” Lake is located on the opposite bank of the Longguan Wharf in the Pinghu Tour of Maoyan River Scenic Area. A karst landform cliff has become a natural barrier between the lake and the Maoyan River. The lake is located in a natural tiankeng and is connected to the Maoyan River through the underground Yin River. The lake water is composed of river water, rain water, mountain spring water and so on. The lake is surrounded by dense forests and cliffs. It is a karst landform. Due to the steep terrain, few people have stepped on it and have maintained its original ecological appearance. According to preliminary measurements, the depth of the entire tiankeng is about 200 meters, the lake area exceeds 200 square meters, the lake water is constant in temperature throughout the year, and the green is clear.
