The third spring in the world and the first tea in the south of the Yangtze River are located by the West Lake

🐅There is an interesting legend about the origin of the name 'Tiger Run'. It is said that after the Zen master of the universe became a monk at the Tongzi Temple in Nanyue and came to Hangzhou, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery here and settled down. However, he wanted to leave because of the lack of water. 🌙One night, he had a dream in which a god said: 'The spring of Nanyue Tongzi should be moved here by two tigers'. The next morning, he saw two tigers digging a hole, and the spring water gushed out immediately. Since then, the spring has been named 'Tiger Run Spring', and the temple has also been called 'Tiger Run Temple'♥Tiger Run Park ~~ 🏡'Tiger Run Dream Spring' is one of the new ten scenic spots of West Lake. There are many attractions in Tiger Run Park, especially the Tiger Run Spring, which is a fissure spring, a kind of high-quality natural drinking mineral water suitable for drinking and has considerable medical and health care functions. It is known as the 'Double Excellence of West Lake' together with Longjing Tea❗❗❗ 🎈👉🏻Since the Southern Song Dynasty, people have always come to Tiger Run Spring to fetch water for tea. Not far from the main entrance, there is a water fetching point. Many local uncles and aunts will bring many big buckets to fetch water, and the queue is very long~~😂 ~~ 🏞️Tiger Run is the place where the legendary figure Living Buddha Jigong passed away and was buried.
