Where Myth Meets Nature: The Mysteries of Sword Pool

#hellohalloween
The hill's natural beauty is deeply interwoven with the legends of King Helü of the ancient Wu State, buried here over 2,500 years ago. The most atmospheric spot is the Sword Pool (Jianchi), a narrow gorge where the king’s tomb is rumored to lie beneath the tranquil water, along with 3,000 legendary swords. The sheer cliffs surrounding the pool are carved with ancient calligraphy, adding a dramatic, mysterious air. Nearby, the Sword-Testing Stone is said to have been split clean by a heroic strike, bringing the history of ancient warriors and kings vividly to life for any visitor.
