More than 200 ships and boats sunk in a mysterious water of Panyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, China since the 1960s. The water is near Laoye Temple in the north of the lake and it is called "The Devil's Triangle. " East ".

According to the People's Daily of China, Chinese scientists will take advantage of Phùng Dương Lake during the current dry season, when the water surface of the lake falls sharply compared to other periods of the year. Researchers will focus on understanding the waters near the Laoye temple - in Changchang district - in hopes of lifting the mysterious veil around it.

Countless ships and boats have sunk unexplained in Laoye Temple water for thousands of years. Even a ship with a tonnage of 2,000 tons was submerged in the " Devil's Triangle ". Historical documents show that 13 ships were immersed in the waters of Laoye Temple on August 3, 1985 - a rare event in the history of waterway accidents. The corpses of ill-fated boats and ships have never been found. Local people believe that some supernatural force is present in the lake.

A local fisherman said many generations of his family had relied on Phan Duong Lake. However, fear is the feeling that he must face every day when fishing on the lake. Water in Phan Duong Lake flows into the Yangtze River through Laoye Temple waters. So, even though he was afraid, he still had to row over there. He called the waters of Laoye Temple a " tooth of death ".

Many fishermen said that the storm always appeared unexpectedly in the Laoye Temple waters, and the wind always blew in opposite directions so they could not determine the direction of the wind. They say that a wave breaker with a length of up to 600 meters has sunk to the bottom of the lake without causing a sound.

According to a local scientist, an infrared photo shows a huge sand bank beneath the Laoye Temple waters. It is about 200 meters long in the east-west direction. Sand banks block the flow and create a whirlpool under the lake surface. It is very likely that swirling water is one of the causes of wrecked ships and boats.
