Kunshan Seven Wells

Mount Kunshan stands at an elevation of 603.5 meters, while Mount Lun rises to 273 meters. The two mountains stand side by side, presenting a majestic and spectacular landscape. At the summit of Mount Kunshan, there used to be a temple dedicated to Liu Sanjie, which has now collapsed, leaving only a base. Behind the temple stands a Rain Prayer Stele from the Daoguang era (1821–1850) of the Qing Dynasty. In the mountain’s basin, there is an old aviation symbol made of lime-soil mortar forming the two large characters “鹤山” (Crane Mountain), which remains well-preserved. Walking westward along the mountain path, you will come across seven deep pools that resemble both jars and wells. A waterfall cascades into these pools, producing enchanting sounds—sometimes like the playing of a zither, other times like the beating of gongs and drums. Hence the sayings: “A thousand-year-old waterfall feeds the seven-well pools, its music echoing day and night, springtime all year round,” and “The seven wells flow with the sounds of eight musical tones.”
