Jade Spring Park (Heilong Tan Park)

Have you ever visited the Jade Spring Park in Lijiang, Yunnan Provinceω If you haven't, please start your trip now! The real scenery there is much more beautiful than that in the picture.Jade Spring Park is another name for Heilong Tan Park. Located at the foot of Elephant Mountain, it was originally built in 1737. There is a spring under a chestnut tree at the foot of Elephant Mountain. It flows day and night and forms a big pond with a total area of 40,000 square meters (about 10 acres). The spring water is as clear as jade. Meanwhile the purely white, edible seaweed flowers are abloom; the lovely fish swim in the water happily; the straight trees grow vigorously; and pavilions and cabins dot the beautiful sceneries. Everything is wonderful.

The water in the pond is warm in cold winter, cool in hot summer. It is very good for your skin. Above the surface of the pond there is always white vapor flowing in winter, which makes you feel like you are in the warmth of spring sunshine.
This is the main entrance to the Jade Spring Park in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. It is stretching its arms to welcome friends from all over the world.
Standing on the Suocui Bridge and looking into the north, you will see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain floating on a piece of white cloud. The blue sky, the clouds, the snow mountain, and the old trees all have their reflections in the pond which is like a mirror. The whole view is really amazing.
