Peach Blossom Pond Scenic Area gained worldwide fame thanks to the poem "To Wang Lun" by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai – "However deep the water of Peach Blossom Pond may be, it’s not so deep, O Wang Lun! as your love for me." This timeless masterpiece made the place renowned. Pictured is a wooden statue of Li Bai.

Within the Peach Blossom Pond Scenic Area, there are attractions such as Rainbow Ridge, Exiled Immortal Tower, Fishing Hermit Platform, Nostalgia Pavilion, and Wang Lun's Tomb. Pictured is a guide map of the Peach Blossom Pond Scenic Area.
