Black Dragon Pool, Cultural park in Gucheng District, China
The Black Dragon Pool stretches across 600 square meters with a depth of 15 meters, containing clear spring water at the foot of Elephant Hill.
The pool and surrounding structures were built in 1737 during the Qing Dynasty, with Emperor Qianlong designating the Dragon God Temple after his visit.
The Dongba Culture Research Institute within the park maintains documents and artifacts connected to the traditions of the Naxi ethnic group.
The park entrance sits 1 kilometer north of Lijiang Old Town, offering direct views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain across a white marble bridge.
The Five-Phoenix Tower combines architectural elements from four different ethnic groups: Naxi, Tibetan, Bai, and Han traditions.
