The Xiuxiushui Ecological Scenic Area is located in the southwest edge of Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, an old revolutionary base. It has a tourist area of 11.5 square kilometers, an altitude of 800-1100 meters, and is 95 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province. It is now a national 4A scenic area, a national water conservancy scenic area, a national scenic spot and China's best ecological tourism scenic area. The scenic area integrates natural scenery, cultural landscape and red tourism. It has elegant taste, distinctive characteristics, rich customs and is very popular with tourists. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was one of the "Eight Great Scenic Spots" in Pingshan and enjoyed the reputation of "Xishui Waterfall Falling from the Sky". According to legend, in ancient times, Xiuxiushui was dry for nine out of ten years, and people were living in poverty. Drinking water was limited and washing clothes took turns. The kind-hearted village girl Jinfeng sacrificed herself to wash the cassock for the wandering monks. She bit off the five-colored thread and became pregnant with a dragon. She was blessed by Guanyin and gave birth to five dragons. She became the Holy Mother and opened the spiritual spring to solve the people's difficulties. The people were grateful and built the Holy Mother Temple and the Jellyfish Temple, and held temple fairs. The incense was strong, and the piety was fulfilled, eliminating worries and disasters. Legends have added a layer of mystery to the landscape. The natural stone arch bridge and the well were enlightened by Guanyin to the Holy Mother; Lingquan Cave was the source of the people's longevity and fertility; Wulongtan was the palace for the dragon's son to enjoy; the bluestone bridge was the incarnation of the blue dragon; the eagle, camel, tortoise, and lion were all divine birds and monsters protecting the spring; the Lover's Valley originated from the place where the monks were loved and returned to secular life.
