The 'Devil's Eye' Aiken Spring hidden in the Qaidam

In Greek mythology, Medusa's eyes are the eyes to hell, full of temptation, anyone who looks at it will turn into stone. In recent years, in Chinese ghost novels such as 'Tomb Robbery Notes' and 'Ghost Blowing Lamp', there is such a cursed mysterious place - a mysterious place called the 'Devil's Eye', which comes from mythology but really exists. This is a mysterious and tempting place, said to be the eye to 'hell' - Aiken Spring. In the junction of Kunlun Mountain and Qaidam Basin - the Alar Grassland, there is a desolate Gobi desert in the grassland, which forms a very sharp contrast with the surrounding vibrant grassland scenery. All this is because there is a spring called 'Aiken', known as the 'Eye of the Earth'; but Aiken Spring is the real 'Devil's Eye'. It is said that this fountain has a history of thousands of years, and it has been gushing continuously for thousands of years, with hidden dangers in the colorful colors. Around the spring eye, it is a colorful picture, reddish-brown, golden, rust color... like a round palette, which is formed by the long-term precipitation of sulfur and other minerals in the geothermal hot spring. Of course, its notoriety does not come from sulfur, but it is indeed impossible to approach, the real danger is here. This is a swamp, animals can't walk through it and are swallowed up, sometimes birds can't escape death either. It is aptly called the 'Devil's Eye'.
