"Yu Quan Chui Hong" (Chinese:玉泉垂虹): Rainbow over the Jade Spring

 

 

The Jade Spring was originally called the Baotu Spring in Jude Spring Mountain (after a famous spring in Shandong province). The spring is famous for its pure cool waters, which flow in abundant supply from its underground source, spurting from the dragon-head-shaped stone fountainhead in a fine spray that resembles snowflakes. In the Qing Dynasty, the spring was praised as the "Finest Spring under Heaven."
