Tiger Beach
Tiger and Beauty

Do you know a beautiful Story is behind the origin of "Tiger Beach"?

Long long ago, there is a village at Tiger Beach, of course, at that time it was not named as Tiger Beach...

A young fisherman fell into love with a long-hair young girl of the same village, who he grew up together with. It seemed that happiness was not far from them. But misfortune happened. A day a local despot ran across the long-hair girl and a wicked idea came into his head. He sent a tiger and seized the girl.

The young man came back from the sea and found his beloved long-hair girl was missing. He was very anxious. The kind villager told him what had happened to the girl. As a result, the young man brought an axe and went directly to the local despot's at that very night, resolutely to save his sweetheart. At the beach in front of the local despot's door, he met the ferocious tiger. After a 300-bout fight, the young killed the tiger at last and rescued the girl.

From then on, the young couple lived together passionately. The dead tiger petrified as a huge rock. The villager named it as "Tiger Beach".

Today, when you visit Tiger Beach, somebody will show you where is the head of the tiger and where is the tail of the tiger...
