　 Highlights:

Prajna Spring, also known as Longevity Spring. Legend has it that Emperor Kangxi used water from Prajna Spring for cooking and making tea during his visit to Mount Wutai, hence the name. Every time the Panchen Lama and other dignitaries visited Mount Wutai, special personnel were sent to collect water from Prajna Spring for drinking. Historically, when distinguished guests arrived at the monasteries of Mount Wutai, young monks were specifically tasked with fetching water from this spring to brew tea. Local lore says that Prajna Spring does not freeze even in the bitter cold of winter, and its chilled water is still perfect for brewing tea. It is said that drinking tea made with other water sources on Mount Wutai may cause bloating if consumed in large quantities, whereas tea made with Prajna Spring water becomes more refreshing the more you drink. Relevant authorities have tested the spring water and confirmed it to be high-quality mineral water. Some experts also believe it may help treat many difficult and complicated diseases.

Prajna Spring is located at the northern foot of Fanshan Mountain, east of the Statue Temple, at the exit of Fenglin Valley, adjacent to the Shiliang Highway, surrounded by a scenic poplar forest.
