Linxia Jiuyanquan

  Situated in the eastern suburbs of Linxia City, this area features rippling blue waters and exceptional natural scenery, with green landscaped water areas covering over 90% of the site. The resort has three treasures: Jiuyanquan (Nine-Eye Spring), unique rocks, and ancient trees. The ancient tree has a girth of about 8 meters, stands over 40 meters tall, and was planted in the early years of the Jiajing reign during the Ming Dynasty. It is known as the "Shangshu Willow." Several unusual rocks have been excavated from the ground in the village. These are remnants of glacial movement from the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era, featuring peculiar shapes and high value for both viewing and archaeological study. The spring water of Jiuyanquan is natural mineral water, rich in trace elements such as calcium, zinc, and iron, making it an excellent source of drinking water and therapeutic health water. It is recorded in local historical texts throughout the dynasties and is known as the "Spring of Nine Chimes." It earned its name from nine springs: Yangsheng Spring (Health-Spring), Zhenzhu Spring (Pearl Spring), Nenyu Spring (Tender Jade Spring), Yingshuexue Spring (Snow-Reflecting Spring), Mingqin Spring (Singing Zither Spring), Ruoli Spring (Ceremonial Spring), Huanhua Spring (Flower-Washing Spring), Ganlu Spring (Sweet Dew Spring), and Mingjing Spring (Bright Mirror Spring).
