Baihe Spring

Baihe Spring is an ancient spring behind Lushan Temple. It is said that in ancient times, a pair of white cranes often flew here, so it was named Baihe Spring. The spring water overflowed from the stone creek. Tea is made with the water of Baihe Spring, and the steam is hovering in the mouth of the toast. It looks like a white crane and is lifelike. Drinking this spring water is refreshing and can prolong life. It has the reputation of "the first fragrance in Lushan". There was once a temple where monks built stones in the shape of a crane, engraved the three characters "White Crane Spring" on the cliff, and built a stone tablet. In the third year of Guangxu’s reign, Xia Xianyun built a pavilion next to Hunan’s grain road, and the pavilion was abandoned during the Anti-Japanese War. After the liberation, a pavilion was rebuilt, with green tiles and red bars, simple and elegant, and two white cranes with wings ready to fly on the caisson, reflecting in the spring, the microwaves trembled and danced gracefully. There is a tea room on the side of the spring, and the clear white crane spring water is used to make tea for tourists to taste.
