This park known as "Tiger Running Dream Spring" (Hupaomeng Quan) is one of the nicest parks in Hangzhou and filled with tea houses, pretty trees and pavilions.

Legend has it that when the Great Master, Xing Kong visited Hangzhou he bemoaned the lack of fresh water available, and quickly made plans to leave. Suddenly a god appeared before him and told him not to worry about the water as two tigers had been dispatched to deliver some! The next day, two tigers appeared as promised and the spring water flowed. The tigers were running, hence the bizarre name!

The Spring remains (although the tigers are long gone), and this is now one of the most famous springs in Hangzhou. The combination of the Dragon Well tea and the spring water here, is said to be uniquely refreshing. ¡¡
