North Drinking Spring
北饮泉
The most famous cold mineral spring in Wudalianchi; its water is rich in carbon dioxide with a slight rusty taste, and visitors can fill up and drink it right there.
North Drinking Spring is located in Yaoquan Town and is one of Wudalianchi's best-known cold mineral springs. Its water is a low-temperature bicarbonate mineral water that bubbles, with a noticeable carbonated bite and a rusty taste. Locally called 'Yaoquan,' it has long been drunk, bathed in and used for healing. A pavilion and water-drawing point stand by the spring. Visitors can fill up for free, and some bring buckets to take water home. Around the Duanwu Festival each year, the town holds a traditional 'Holy Water Festival,' when crowds are at their peak. If you're tasting it for the first time, try just a small amount, and those with sensitive stomachs should not drink too much.
