The first spring is Ganlu Spring when you passing by the Tibetan Buddhism Mani Temple.
Juyue Spring is the most magical one among the five springs due to its unique location. This spring looks like a well.
Mozi Spring means to know the gender of a fetus by touching or feeling the stone. A Buddha in charge of birth is worshiped in the Dizang Temple which is near the Mozi Spring, so people believe the Mozi Spring can tell whether it will be a boy or a girl.

The troops had walked for a long time, so they became exhausted when getting to the foot of Gaolan Mountain. However, they could not find any water in the neighborhood.
