Tiger Spring is a two feet square spring. The clear, bright and clean spring water pours out from the mountain rock. The back wall of the spring is engraved with the three Chinese characters of "Tiger Spring" which is vigorous brushwork and profound skill. In front of the spring, there is a pool surrounded by stone railing, which has overlapping hillstone, green pines, flowers and plants in the middle, as if a miniature garden. Tourists who visit here can sit on the stone to taste the spring water and to enjoy the beautiful flowers.
