Zhuanlongzang Park
转龙藏
The birthplace of Old Baotou in Donghe District, where a dragon spring flows year-round beneath a cliff. It is one of the Eight Scenes of Old Baotou.
Zhuanlongzang lies on the eastern side of Donghe District. Legend holds that it was the earliest settlement in Baotou city, and the dragon spring that flows from the foot of the cliff never stops, serving as a water source for the old town's residents. It is now an urban park with the Dragon Spring, Dragon Spring Temple, ancient willows, pavilions and corridors, and viewing platforms overlooking Donghe's old town. Old Baotou residents still come here to drink the spring water and enjoy outings in spring. Admission is free, and a visit takes about one hour. It is about 5 km from Nanhai Wetland and can be combined with Fuzheng Temple and Lüzu Temple for a half-day tour of the old town.
