E'quan Scenery The spring water is clear and mirror-like all year round, and the lake surface presents a dreamy blue-green color. The surrounding mountains are reflected in the water, like a picture scroll. In the early morning or at sunset, the mist is lingering, and the scenery is particularly charming. The spring is about 30m deep. According to legend, villagers in ancient times found the spring under the guidance of a divine goose, hence the name "E'quan". The spring is rich in carp. People shout loudly by the spring, and the fish jump out of the water when frightened, which is a spectacular sight. "E'quan Carp Leaping Three Layers of Waves" is one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Jingxi. 2. Fifteen-Arch Ancient Bridge The fifteen-arch bridge built in the Qing Dynasty spans the spring. The bridge is simple and elegant, forming a classic picture with the fields and distant mountains. It is a popular spot for photography enthusiasts. 3. Pastoral and Folk Customs The scenic area is surrounded by rice fields. It is full of green in spring and summer, and golden in autumn, presenting a typical Guixi pastoral scenery with karst peaks. You can experience the Zhuang ethnic farm life and taste special delicacies such as spring fish and Ciba. Best season: Suitable for all seasons.
