Baotu Spring lies in the Baotu Spring Park which is a national AAAA scenic spot. Centering among springs, this park is a natural rock and spring garden with ethnic style. The water of Baotu Spring spurts out in three prongs, with water droplets falling around, just like three piles of snow, which is very spectacular. The spring water is very sweet, optimum for making tea, which is limpid in color, rich in aroma, good in taste. Sitting under the "Watching Crane Pavilion" in the east side of the spring with a cup of tea in hand, one's mind will fly faraway and hates to leave.
