Yuquan, or Jade Spring Mountain, is located outside Beijing and was once declared by Emperor Qianlong as the “finest spring under heaven.” Its cool, vitalizing waters flow into Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace, where they were collected and transported into the Forbidden City for consumption by imperials and nobles.

玉泉趵突 西山靜明園中有山曰玉泉，其泉滿山迸流，惟小池半畝，噴薄如佛玉。東流經小石梁入昆明湖，山間勝跡如星羅，不能圖悉。書舫
