Zhuodaoquan

Zhuodaoquan is a cultural relic protection unit of Wuhan.

Zhuodaoquan dates back to the late Eastern Han Dynasty in 208 AD. When the Shu general Guan Yu stationed his troops at Fuhu Mountain in Wuchang, there was a shortage of water. Guan Yu struck the ground with his sword, and a spring gushed forth—hence the name "Zhuodaoquan," meaning "Sword-Dug Spring." It lies north of the East Lake Scenic Area in Wuhan, Hubei, and east of Fuhu Mountain. Most of the temple’s structures were destroyed in wartime, and the current buildings were largely rebuilt around 1916. The mountain gate bears the inscription "Zhuodaoquan." Passing through the gate, you’ll find a traditional courtyard. At its center lies the spring well, flanked by meditation halls on either side. Further inside is the main hall, which houses a statue of Guan Yu. Spring water flows gently in front of the temple, while ancient trees surround the site, creating a serene and secluded mountain atmosphere.
