A Natural Miracle Where Water and Fire Coexist

Water and Fire Spring lies about 1 km southeast of Biyun Temple in Guanziling. Spring water flows from rock crevices while natural gas seeps from underground and ignites upon contact with air—flames dance endlessly within the flowing water. Although the 1964 Baihe Earthquake weakened the fire somewhat, it still burns today, creating a mystical landscape where science and legend intertwine.

This geological wonder defies the notion that “water and fire cannot mix,” astonishing visitors young and old alike. It is an ideal destination for family outings, photo stops, and nature education!

Kirin Breathing Flame? Water Tiger Spring? Myths That Enrich the Wonder!

Here you will find not only natural science, but also local legends that spark the imagination:

• Legend says this is the head of the kirin of Kirin Mountain, breathing fire in cultivation.

• Another tale tells of a battle in ancient times between a fire dragon and a water tiger, who perished together—the dragon became flame and the tiger became a spring, coexisting ever since.

These stories make the site more vivid and engaging, and serve wonderfully as educational nature material for children.
