Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep. Where is Peach Blossom Pond and how deep is it?

Taohuatan is located in Taohuatan Town, Jing County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, about 35 kilometers away from the county seat. Jingxian County, known as Youzhou in ancient times, is located in the northern part of the mountainous area in southern Anhui, with the remnants of Huangshan Mountain to the southeast and the branches of Jiuhua Mountain to the northwest. The junction area between the plains on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the mountainous areas of southern Anhui is pillowed by the Huijing Pond and bordered by the Yangtze River. It is known as "an old county of the Han family and a famous country on the left of the Yangtze River".

Converting from one thousand feet to about three hundred meters, it is obviously impossible. The nearby Taiping Lake, the largest artificial reservoir in Anhui Province, is only over 40 meters on average, and the deepest is only about 70 meters. The deepest point in the Bohai Sea is only over 80 meters. The actual depth of Taohuatan water is generally 3 to 5 meters, and the deepest can reach 7 to 8 meters.

If there is a flood season, the water surface will rise by about 1 to 2 meters. This depth is far from the "thousand feet" in Li Bai's poems. It is just an exaggeration technique he used to highlight Wang Lun's deep friendship, just like the technique of "flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls from the sky" .

Extended information:

Although Taohuatan is not well-known in Jing County now, it was definitely a famous county in ancient times. The famous rice paper and Xuan pen originated from Jing County , the rice paper in Jingxian County is the best, and it was a tribute to the palace during the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Now Jingxian County is still the largest rice paper production base in the country. In ancient times, there was a saying that "no business can be established without Hui". The people of Jingxian County were also very good at doing business.

After crossing Taiping Lake, the Qingyi River enters Jingxian County from southwest to northeast. Due to the flat terrain, the water gradually slows down. When it reaches the vicinity of Chencun and Wancun, Taohuatan Town, Jingxian County, it is blocked by a mountain rock, forming an open section. The surface of the lake is Peach Blossom Pond.

There are no peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Pond. It is named Peach Blossom Pond because the large whirlpool formed by the impact of the river water on the Jieshi resembles a peach blossom. The shore of Peach Blossom Pond has rugged rocks, clear water, and often rising mist, making it like a fairyland. The most beautiful thing is in the early morning in autumn and winter, when the water mist curls up on the surface of the pool, and a dreamlike feeling emerges.
