Wulong Pool

Wulong Pool

Wulong Pool was originally composed of three pools of varying sizes. Ancient texts recorded: “Wulong Pool had three basins—the middle and upper ones were dozens to hundreds of zhang high, while the lower one was relatively flat.” Today, only one pool remains. The pool water cascades down in five streams through crevices in the huge rocks, short and forceful, like a silver-forged harp plucking its strings day and night.

Guide:

Legend has it that in the valley of Huanglong Mountain, there were a Yellow Dragon and a Black Dragon that frequently fought, making it impossible for local residents to live in peace. Later, Monk Chekong traveled here and used his spiritual power to subdue the two dragons, sealing them in Huanglong Pool and Wulong Pool respectively. To this day, the Chinese characters for “Subduing the Dragon” are engraved on the huge rock above Wulong Pool.
