Black Dragon Tan, commonly known as Dragon King Temple and Jade Spring Park, is located at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the north of Lijiang Ancient City. It is a short distance of one kilometer from the Jade River upstream in the north of Dayan Ancient City. Black Dragon Pool was built during the Qing Dynasty with spring water drawn from rocks.
At the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, a pool of nearly 40,000 square meters is lined with green trees and a hundred flowers in full blossom. The white marble bridge running across the pool is a perfect place to view the beautiful Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the highest peak in Lijiang. Classical Chinese designs all around add splendor to the pool.
