It turns out that this Tiger Running Spring seeps from the sandstone and quartz sand with steep fault behind Dacishan Mountain, and the measured flow is 43.2-86.4 cubic meters per day. The spring water is clear and sweet, ranking first among all the springs in the West Lake, and is called "the third spring in the world" together with Longjing Spring.
Tiger running spring originally had three wells, but later it was merged into two pools. On the stone bed in the stone niche near the main pool spring, the forearm man with his right hand resting on his head lay on his side in the atlas, with a quiet and charitable expression. The transcendental realm of being quiet but not knowing spring is like a couplet:
How many minutes can't be broken?
Wandering among the three treasures, the clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, two lifelike tigers are coming to the sleeping monk from the right side of the stone niche, and their images are also very vivid. This group of "Dream Tiger Map" reliefs contains the code that immortals dream in the album and fairies are sent to turn into two tigers and move to Nanyue Qingquan. "The tiger moved the spring to the boy in Nanyue; For millions of years, I have been robbing this real source. " -This fairy tale was also written by this couplet of Huben Temple, but it has more Buddhist meanings.
"Longjing Tea Tiger Running Water" is called the West Lake. Throughout the ages, people who come to Hangzhou are always happy to taste the West Lake Longjing tea brewed with the water of Tiger Run and Ganquan. Poets of all ages have left many poems praising the tiger running in spring water. For example, Su Dongpo said, "Taoist priests respect themselves by borrowing heaven before stepping on water." Huang Jingren (1749- 1783), a poet in the Qing dynasty, said in Tiger Running Spring: "Where does water come from? Nanyue is thousands of miles away. The dragon is like a post station, and heaven and man are happy together. " According to legend, the poet said that the water of Tiger Running Spring came from Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, where a fairy boy became a tiger. A clear spring suddenly gushed out of the water-deficient Daci Mountain, and people in the sky cheered and admired it. He also praised the monks for opening mountains to draw water for the benefit of the people.

In order to carry forward the outstanding heritage of China tea culture with a long history, popularize the scientific knowledge of tea and promote the exchange of tea culture between China and foreign countries, a large-scale tea museum has been built in Hangzhou. Nowadays, a number of tea rooms have been repaired or built in Hupao, Longjing, Yuquan and Wu Shan in the West Lake Scenic Area. Chinese and foreign tea drinkers come here, often packed. Many tea lovers in Hangzhou often go to famous springs such as Tiger Run by bus or bike every morning to collect spring water, make tea for guests or enjoy it by themselves. In view of more and more spring tasters, Hangzhou media once called for proper control of daily intake to protect Gu Quan's natural water quantity and its famous refreshing sweetness. Tiger Run is also the burial place of the famous legend Jigong, where Jigong Hall and Jigong Tower are located. Li Shutong, a master of modern art, became a monk here, and the memorial room of Master Hongyi also attracted people's attention.

Su Shi's poem "Tiger Running Spring";
On the pavilion stone couch in Dongfeng, the old man came to worship God.
Tigers move their eyes and feet, and dragons make waves and clap their hands.
So far, tourists have stopped drinking and listened to the empty steps.
Therefore, I know this is an ancient spring, so don't think about it on earth.
Yuan Hongdao's poem "Tiger Running Spring";
The bamboo forest is clean, and monks should know that temples are poor.
Hungry birds share fragrance and accumulate rice, and dead branches often pay people's wages.
At the head of the monument, it is known that at the beginning of the mountain, the gray cold in the furnace protects the dharma god.
Draw three or four clear springs, and the bud tea will be cooked and taste new flavors.
