black dragon pool

black dragon pool Tours Introduce:

Located 11 kilometers north of Chunking at the foot of the Longquan Mountains, the park seems to be neglected by many tourists from other provinces and countries. It is said that there was once a black dragon living in its namesake, the Black Dragon Pool. Standing on the stone bridge spanning the pool, the tourist can find that water in the left and on the right are quite different; the deeper pool is formed by a bubbling spring and is clear and freen; the shallow one is muddy. From the Tang Dynasty and till the early 1990s, local people held memorial ceremonies for the dragon hoping it would bring rain to the land, the Taoist Dragon Spring Temple, the largest structure in the park, was first built along the pool early in the Han Dynasty. More expansion and refurbishment were undertaken during the succeeding dunasties. Most of the remaining architecture was completed during the Qing Dynasty. The temple is divided into two parts---Dragon Spring Temple and Black Dragon Palace.

At the temple entrance, there are two 1,00-year-old cypresses with limbs and leaves serving ad two huge canopies. A plum tree is even older than the cypresses seemed to be no less impressive, although three-fourths of its trunk has withered since 1923. another attraction in the temple is a camellia growing in a country yard on the right. With a history of about 400 years, the camellia adds a living touch to the severs atmosphere around the temple when red flowers flourish. What attracts the tourist most is not only the historic charm of the temple, but its natural beauty.
