Brief Introduction :
Walking north from the Old Town of Lijiang, exactly at the foot of Elephant Hill, is the Black Dragon Pool (Heilongtan), an influx of limpid spring. Since the water of the pond is as green as a shining jade, the park of Black Dragon Pool, which was built in 1737 during the Qing Dynasty, is also entitled the Jade Spring Park (Yuquan Park).
Jade Spring Park (Yuquan Park) occupies an area of 11,390 square meters and includes many distinctive and ravishing sites. Hiding in the lush trees or standing along the liquid pool is the antique and exquisite architectural pieces, which are in the style of Naxi (also spelt Nakhi or Nahi). Therefore, Jade Spring Park is a really good place to seek novelty and grasp beautiful scenes.
昆明黑龍潭位於昆明北郊龍泉山麓,相傳,為漢黑水祀故地,稱為"黑水祀"。園內山勢挺拔,古木參天,殿宇依山勢層層構築,氣勢宏大。山麓湧出一泉匯為潭,碧綠清澈,故名"黑龍潭"。其旁有一潭,水呈渾濁,有水口與黑龍潭相通,清、渾兩潭,面積共600平方米,而兩潭的魚互不越潭,成為一奇趣。潭旁還有明義士薛爾望之墓。元代建有"龍泉觀",明、清以來建有祖師殿、玉皇閣、三清殿等道教建築群。園內環境清幽,古樹名花極多,擁有規模宏大的"梅園",尤以唐梅、宋柏、元杉、明茶最為有名,稱為黑龍潭林木"四絕"。國內古碑林立,明代刻制的道符,看時凸現"萬物茲生"四字,人們習慣稱它為"凸字碑"。國內道觀廟宇,亭臺樓閣、清泉碧流、名樹古木交相輝映,風光秀麗,環境清幽,真如楹聯所謂:
兩樹梅花一潭水,四時煙雨半山雲。
黑龍潭大門外為著名的昆明植物研究所,栽培有眾多的奇花異木,成林成片;四季花香,是雲南"植物工國"的縮影。
