Yuquan Park, also named Black Dragon Pool Park, is rated for its water which is as sparkling as jade. Covered with green grass, it is a nice place for a look especially in spring.
Located at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, north of Lijiang Old Town, Yuquan Park is also named Heilongtan Park (Black Dragon Pool Park) which derives the name from the pool where flows the spring water as crystal as jade.
The inner Yuquan Park contains many ancient buildings such as Dragon God Temple, Moon-catching Pavilion, Suocui Bridge, Fuguo Temple and Five Phoenixes Pavilion.

It is an enormous courtyard attached with four rooms and five yards. Temple gate, left and right-wing rooms and main hall are included which show you a sense of royal court.
