What is Jinci like?

Jinci sits facing south, with three gates and towering steps outside. There is a hall in the courtyard, which divides the temple into two entrances. Uncle Yu sat in the middle of the shrine in the main hall, wearing an embroidered robe and holding Yugui in his hand. Inside the shrine, there is a waiter waiting to be summoned, and the civil servants and soldiers under the shrine will stand face to face.

Jinci Temple includes Nan Laoquan Pavilion, Li Shanquan Pavilion, Bajiao Lotus Pond, Yuhua Temple and Shangsheng Temple.

South Lao Quan, commonly known as Nanhai Eye, is located in front of the Jellyfish Building and is the main source of golden water. Because its water temperature is constant, clear as jasper, and it lasts all the year round, someone chose China's earliest collection of poems, The Book of Songs. The golden sentence of truffle "never aging" named it "the fountain of aging". Difficult old spring is known as "the first spring in Jinyang". The spring water gushed from the rock stratum at the bottom of Diaoweng Mountain, with an undercurrent of 10 meters, and was injected into the cymbals from the half-carved dragon mouth on the west bank of the reservoir. It seems to be dancing, but also like a piano ensemble, which constitutes the "sound of the old spring", one of the eight scenic spots in Jinci, the essence of Jinci scenic spot and the "eight scenic spots in Jinci".

There is a "Difficult Old Pavilion" on the Difficult Old Spring. At the lower end of the pavilion, there is a faucet carved out of white marble on the west wall of Qingtan. Spring water gushes eastward from here and pours into Qingtan below. Qingtan, also known as Golden Beach, is also known as "Shitang". To the south of Notre Dame de Jinci, the water in the pool is crystal clear, with countless fish swimming in the water, overgrown with grass and algae, and evergreen all the year round. Illicium verum planting lotus has always been appreciated by people. It is known as "lotus pond reflecting the moon" and is one of the eight scenic spots in Jinci.

Li Shanquan, also known as Beihai Eye, has the water temperature as usual all year round, the spring flows like jade, crystal clear, and the fish and stones are fine and clear.

The octagonal lotus pond, also known as the release pond, is octagonal and surrounded by low brick guardrails. Li Shan spring water enters from the northwest, fish marsh water enters from the southwest, and there is a shallow water mouth leading to the North River in the east.
