Jade Water Village
Sacred spring is situated in the center range in Jade
Water Village. Its water source originated from the snow mountain.
This Pure and fresh snow melted water, has to flow through a distance
of about 2400 meters before it reaches the Jade Water Village.
According to some legend, the mouth of the spring was where the Jade
Dragon came out to inspect the plain of Lijiang. So this spring was
named as "Sacred Spring". When the American scholar Joseph.F.Rock
stayed in Lijiang, he always drank from this spring.
When this spring runs down the range, it forms three tiers of
waters. The first tier was known as "Appearing Dragon Waterfall", the
second tier the "Playing Dragon Waterfall" and the third, the
"Farewell Dragon Waterfall". This is where the name of "three-tier
water" originated. There are many waterweeds inthe pool and together
with the beautiful Rainbow trout make the whole environment very
natural and scenic. |
