From a high place on Wuchan Mountain, you can see water trickling down one side of the cliff, falling into a clear pond below. This place is none other than Xilong District. From here, Ganlu Spring is very close. "Ganlu Spring" is the highest spring among the Wuchan, located to the west of Yechang Palace, with a lonely pavilion guarding it. The spring water flows thinly, never overflowing even in prolonged rain, nor drying up in drought, and tastes as sweet as nectar when drunk. According to legend, this spring signifies that 'when the world is at peace, nectar will descend from the heavens.'

Passing through the entrance of the park, you can see a palace and temple that resemble an inn. To the east of the palace, there is a small flower fence with a vase-shaped gate. On the plaque of this gate, three characters are written in light gray clerical script—“Guoyuequan” which stand out prominently. This spring is completely different from other springs. It is more akin to a well rather than a spring. The spring water gathers in a deep hole resembling a well, about 1.6 meters deep. Every month at night, the moonlight shines in the center of the spring water, creating an image as if holding the moon in one's hand, hence the elegant name “Guoyue,” meaning “National Moon.” This place is also where three mountain paths from the west, center, and east converge.

Huanghelou is like a conversation between the earth and the sky, based on the architectural essence of 'Huanghelou' and 'Pavilion of Prince Teng'. The main building reaches a height of 93.39m, and when you ascend to the top floor and look down at the Yellow River, the spectacular view is thrilling. The sunlight pours into the river, shining golden, like a visual feast bestowed by nature. Walking along the Yellow River below, the river breeze is refreshingly cool...
