It is said that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Jinling, but the area west of Pukou still had a good harvest because of the pearl spring water. The local farmers did not know the drought. At that time, people thought it was the blessing of the Dragon King. They donated money to build the Dragon King Pavilion and other garden buildings to express their gratitude to the Dragon King. This is the origin of pearl spring. Not far from the left side of the gate is the eye of pearl spring. The spring water gushes out from the cracks in the stone, just like a string of pearls, so it gets its name. On the stone wall beside the spring, there are four characters of "wanhu pearl" carved by the ancients. In front of the spring is a pool. From a distance, the water drops in the pool splash like raindrops on the water surface, like fine rain on a sunny day, so it is called Qingyu spring. If you clap or sing here, the water drops in the pool will change with the sound size. It is a very rare natural voice controlled fountain. Its shape seems to welcome guests, also known as "Xike spring".
