Located to the north side of Lishan Mountain, the Huaqing Hot Spring is the bathing pool in Huaqing Palace built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It is famous for its hot springs and beautiful scenery. During the reign of King You of the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC - 771BC), he built a resort here named Li Palace. Later, Qin Emperor Shihuang built a stone pool and named it "the Fairy's Spring",Shanghai Travel;. The palace was expanded by Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD). During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong ordered a large-scale construction by transforming spring wells into pools housed in walled palaces. Since the palace was named the Huaqing Palace, the hot springs were named after it as the Huaqing Pool.
