What's interesting about Pearl Spring in Nanjing?

Located 6 kilometers west of Pukou, it has been built into the only provincial-level tourist resort in Nanjing, covering an area of 1.400 hectares. According to legend, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a drought in Jinling. Thanks to the pearl spring, the crops are still bumper, and the local farmers don't know about the drought. At that time, people thought it was the blessing of the Dragon King, and donated money to build garden buildings such as the Dragon King Pavilion to express their gratitude to the Dragon King. This is the origin of Pearl Spring.

Not far from the left side of the gate is the spring eye of Pearl Spring, which gushes out from the crevices of the stone and looks like a string of pearls, hence the name. On the stone wall beside the spring, there is the word "Wan Hu Pearl" carved by the ancients. In front of the spring, there is a pool. From a distance, the water drops in the pool splash down on the water like raindrops, like a sunny rain, so it is called a sunny spring. If you clap your hands or sing here, the water drops in the pool will change with the sound. It is an extremely rare natural voice-activated fountain, which looks like a welcome, also known as "Xike Spring". On the right is a large area of water called Jingshan Lake. Now there are bamboo rafts for tourists to ride and enjoy the lakes and mountains. On the right bank of the lake is a rare animal crocodile farm in China. Behind the Spring Eye is Dingshange Restaurant, and behind the restaurant is Camel Garden and Racecourse for tourists to watch and ride. There is an archery range and a camping service center on the left. For example, in summer, you can rent a tent to have a picnic and barbecue on the hillside grass, take a bath in the tent and enjoy the leisure and wild fun.
