Spring Lake Park

Spring Lake Park

Jiuquan is also called "Jinquan" because it is said to have gold.

Located 2 kilometers east of Jiuquan City, it has a history of more than 2000 years and is now a comprehensive park integrating classical gardens, natural lakes, cultural tours and fun.

According to historical records, in the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (A.D. 121), general Huo Qubing, a cavalry general, conquered the Xiongnu in the west, and won a great victory. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him a jar of wine. Huo Qubing made great contribution to the whole army. There were more people and less wine, so he poured wine into the spring to drink with the soldiers, so it was named "Jiuquan". Today, the spring is still there, and the archway has been restored and well preserved. In the park, there are the stone tablets of "Jiuquan relics of the Western Han Dynasty" and "Jiuquan ancient capital of the Han Dynasty" in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the plaque of "Dadi Mingmin" written by Zuo Zongtang, which become a must for tourists to visit Jiuquan!
