Wuzhiquan Spring
五指泉
A mountain spring gushing from beneath a five-finger-shaped granite rock on the bank of the Handegat River, set among Mongolian villages and grassland scenery; a national 3A-level tourist attraction.
Wuzhiquan lies on the western bank of the Handegat River, about 5 km from the Handegat Mongol Ethnic Township government. A granite boulder about 10 metres high stands by the river, with a five-finger shape at its base. About 10 metres below it, a mountain spring flows year-round, its water clear and cold, and locals regard it as a sacred spring. The surroundings include Mongolian pastoral areas and birch valleys, where you can experience herder life in summer, and the Dundebulak cave paintings are nearby. The drive from the city centre takes about 40 minutes, but rural roads are narrow, and snow in winter may make them impassable.
