Pinglu Mitang Valley|Does this look like the illustrations in your elementary school textbooks?

|Does this look like the illustrations in your elementary school textbooks? To the east of Sanmen Village, Sanmen Town, there is a Mitang Valley. Legend has it that when Dayu was controlling the flood, he passed by his home three times but never entered. Dayu's mother missed her son very much, so she asked her daughter-in-law, Yu Niangniang, to take care of Dayu. Niangniang felt sorry for him, so she delivered meals to the river every day. One day, a group of dung beetles were pushing dung balls when a gust of wind blew the dung balls onto the big drum by the river, making a deafening noise. Dayu heard the drum and thought there was an emergency at home, so he hurried up the mountain. At the same time, Niangniang also heard the drum and was very surprised. She thought Dayu was hungry and was urging her to deliver meals, so she hurriedly put red bean rice soup into a clay pot and ran down the mountain. When she reached the valley, she accidentally got the pot caught on a jujube thorn by the roadside. Her body shook, and the rice soup spilled all over the valley. Since then, the slopes of the valley have turned red like red beans. Whenever it rains, there is thick red water everywhere, which people call "Mitang Valley." Mitang Valley has a variety of red earth platforms, earth pillars, earth cliffs, earth ridges, and other unique landforms. No wonder many people are nostalgic for the illustrations in their elementary school natural science textbooks. Address: About 20 km east of Sanmen Village, Sanmen Town, Pinglu County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province
