Five Dragon Pool, Natural spring pool complex in Jinan, China
Five Dragon Pool consists of five connected water basins fed by mineral springs and surrounded by traditional Chinese gardens and stone paths. The layout includes multiple landscaped areas with vegetation and sitting spaces distributed throughout the grounds.
The site dates to ancient times and takes its name from a legend about five dragons that emerged from the waters during the Tang Dynasty. This mythological story shaped how the place has been understood and named throughout history.
The pool serves as a central gathering place where people practice tai chi and attend traditional music performances. You can observe how local daily life and customs have remained connected to this water source over time.
The site is open daily and accessible by public buses, with several entrances distributed around the grounds. Walking paths connect all areas, making the site easy to navigate on foot.
The water system is fed by approximately two dozen natural springs that maintain a steady temperature year-round. This constant warmth makes the site unusual as a gathering space that functions in all seasons.
