With Baotu Spring as the center, the spring water is divided into three branches, clear and transparent, with water surging day and night, and the water level reaches several feet high. In addition, there are more than 30 famous springs nearby, such as Jin Xian Spring, Shu Yu Spring, Xi Bo Spring, Liu Xu Spring, Huang Hua Spring, Du Kang Spring, and Bai Long Spring, forming a spectacular Baotu Spring group. The magnificent south gate of the park is decorated with the blue and gold characters of "Baotu Spring", written by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and is the "first gate" in Chinese gardens.
