Online Scenic Viewing | The Fifth of the Eight Scenic Views: Lotus Reflection on the Clouds
Wuli Xian relied on Wulianquan to be built, consisting of Liuzhujing (Six-Corner Pavilion), Banbie Shan Lang (Half-Wall Mountain Corridor), and ShuiXie (Water Pavilion). The terrain is undulating, with rugged mountains and rocks, featuring azure brick and white walls, with old trees leaning against them, offering a distant view of high towers and overlooking Wulianquan (Five Lotus Spring). It is quaint and charming.
Wulianquan belongs to the Black Tiger Spring group, located on the west side of Pipa Bridge in the central (Guarded River).
The pool is 0.5 meters higher than the river surface, with many springs at the bottom, with five large ones, forming bubbles that rise above the water surface, breaking through and overflowing outside the pool, resembling five blooming lotus flowers, hence the name.
The pool is situated in the river and creek, relatively distant from the bank, hence it is also called 'Xing Zhong Quan' (Spring in the Creek). The spring flows into the river, with green ripples and delicate waves, with two rivers overlapping, creating the wonderful scenery of 'Liu Zhong Zi Shui, Zhong Shui Zi' (Stream within Stream, Water within Water). It deeply embodies the feeling of 'Quan He Yi' (Spring and River Intertwined).
The pool is quiet and still, reflecting the clouds in the sky like clusters of white clouds, as if imprinted on the pool, with the 'Foshan Dao Ying' (Buddha Mountain Reflection) effect.
