There is a poem to describe the Sandie Sping. "San Die Ru Long Bi Shang Fei, Qin Shi Shou Xue Yu Shi Fei. Fen Zhu Tu Yu Cheng Feng Qu, Wen Er He Shi Fan Cui Wei."which means the waterfall seems a dragon falls down the cliff, the water volume increased in rainy days and reduced in clear days. The spring goes away with the wind, when it will come back?

    Since the spring should run by three pits, it formed three folds, hence the name "Sandie Spring"(Three Folding Sping)In Jiajing 20 years of Ming Dynasty, Luo Yuanzhang inscribed "San Die Quan"three characters o­n the rock beyond the spring.

    Huangshan is beautiful all year round. In spring (March to May), all flowers blossom, pines turn green and the birds sing beautifully. Summer (June-August) is the best time to appreciate the pines and prevent sunstroke. In autumn (September to November), tourists can see the pines, rocks, maples and chrysanthemum. In winter tourists could admire the snow and the rimed trees. When the weather is fine, you could view the grotesque rocks, when it is cloudy, you can appreciate the changing clouds, when it rains, you could see the springs and waterfalls, when it snows, you could see the crystal tree and Rimed tree, when it is windy, you could listen to the sound made by the swinging pines. You could be satisfied in any kind of weather.
