Herman, from the US, visited Yiyuan county and explored the love story between Niu Lang and Zhi Nv to enjoy the unique charm of Yiyuan’s love culture recently.
Yiyuan is a county combining beautiful landscape and profound culture, and is home to the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl. Therefore, in Yiyuan, there is a saying “Just as the Milky Way in the heaven, there is the Yi River on the earth”. The Zhi Nv Cave and Niu Lang Temple face each other across the Yi River, which is considered as the only cultural relic reflecting the actual scene of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage and is known as the “source of love culture in China”.
Herman was deeply moved by the love story between Niu Lang and Zhi Nv. “I also want to have such a perfect lover.” he said.
