Liuxuquan is one of the "seventy-two famous springs" recorded in Ming Dynasty's Monument to Famous Springs, Ming Dynasty's Poetry of Seventy-two Springs by Yan Bi and Qing Dynasty's Records of Seventy-two Springs by Hao Zhigong. Located in Baotu Spring Park, south of Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall and east of Shuyuanquan, it belongs to Baotu Spring Group. According to the records in the old Annals of Licheng County, Volume 8, "Landscape Examination III", it is said: "Willow catkins spring, in the southeast corner of this line spring, is full of foam, such as catkins dancing", hence the name "catkins". The willow trees by the spring are shaded, and the pool water is crystal clear and inexhaustible. There are countless fish swimming in the water. It is a good place to enjoy the cool scenery in summer.
