Jiushui of Laoshan Mountain, a natural gallery to the north of the Yangtze River.
The theme of this route is abandoning oneself to the nature and sublimating the life wisdom.
Jiushui originates from Tianyi Spring, 1,100 m above the sea level, on the north side of Jufeng, which is the highest spring in Laoshan Mountain. Jiushui is also the upstream of Baisha River, the mother river of Laoshan Mountain. The content of negative oxygen ions in this area is up to 42000 per cm3, 20 times the national highest standard, so it is worthy of the name of "natural oxygen bar". The natural gallery of Jiushui with its beautiful landscape is well known at home and abroad. The scenery changes frequently and endlessly: the pictorial rocks everywhere are lifelike and vivid, the clear flowing water turning around thousands of times, the spray flying like snow, the pool water like transparent jade. Stepping into such a natural gallery, tourists become figures in the pictures unconsciously.
