The Huaqing pool

Situated at the bottom of Lishan Hills, the Huaqing pool is a well-known scenic spot, the location of hot springs, and a villa palace and resort for emperors and kings in ancient times with a history of more than 3000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Xuanzong ordered large-scale construction by transforming spring wells into pools housed in walled palaces. These were called the “Huaqing Palace” and “the Spring pool”. The Tang Emperor Xuanzong and his concubine Lady Yang often came here for pleasure.
