◎ 山行六七里, 渐闻水声潺潺, 而泻出于两峰之间者, 酿泉也。峰回路转, 有亭翼然临于泉上者, 醉翁亭也。(欧阳修《醉翁亭记》)

  ◎ After journeying on the mountainside for six or seven li, one begins to hear the sound of flowing water. It is the Niang Spring rushing out from between two peaks. Placed amidst surrounding elevations and winding roads is a pavilion which juts out over the spring like the wing of a bird. This is the Old Drunkard’s Pavilion.
