When it comes to springs, there are many famous springs in our country, such as Baotu Spring in Quancheng, Zhongleng Spring in Zhenjiang, Hupao Spring in Hangzhou, Guanyinyang in Suzhou, Yuquan in Beijing, etc. They are all famous throughout the country. The tea sage Lu Yu also selected the top ten famous springs in the world after traveling north and south of the Yangtze River and visiting famous springs all over the world. They are: Gulian Spring, Huishan Stone Spring, Lanxi Shixiashui, Lu Yu Spring, Daming Temple Spring, Zhaoyin Spring, Bairu Spring, Hongya Waterfall, Huaishuiyuan, Longchi Water, are these springs good? Of course they are, but this list is relatively one-sided, because Mr. Tea Sage has not really traveled all over the world, so there is a certain amount of uncertainty. Limitations, such as the iceberg nectar located deep in the Kunlun Mountains, were ignored.

Iceberg Manna, also known as Nachitai Clear Spring, is located deep in the Kunlun Mountains, known as the ancestor of mountains, next to the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in Nachitai Town, Golmuna, Qinghai, about 90 kilometers away from the urban area of ??Golmud.

Nachitai means a platform in the swamp in Tibetan. It is more than 3,700 meters above sea level. What is very magical is that the spring water here keeps gushing upward no matter in spring, summer, autumn and winter, or in severe cold weather. In winter, when the outside is already covered with snow and thousands of miles of ice, the Nachitai Spring still gushes continuously, so it is also known as Kunlun's ice-free spring.

Due to the high altitude here, there is no pollution, and the spring water comes from melted glacier snow, so the spring water in Nachi Spring is cold and sweet, the water quality is transparent, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Long-term drinking can also prevent diseases, so it is regarded as the Kunlun Holy Spring by the local people.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the story of Princess **. It is said that Princess ** of the Tang Dynasty was on her way to Tibet. When she passed Golmud, she encountered bad weather filled with dust and was unable to move forward. Later, She enshrined the Buddha statue she invited from Chang'an on the platform to worship, and worshiped Kunlun Mountain devoutly. Later, the wind and sand miraculously disappeared, and a clear spring spewed out in front of the Buddha statue. This is the Kunlun Holy Spring we see now. .

Today’s Kunlun Holy Spring not only gushes all year round and does not freeze all year round, it has become drinking water for local people. It is also a blessed spring for drivers traveling between Qinghai and Tibet. When we went to visit, we happened to meet a few driver brothers. I am fetching water here.

Every time he goes there, he will fetch a bucket, and when he comes back, he will fetch another bucket. Basically, there is no need to buy water. .
