Today, Kunlun Mountain/the emerald green water gurgles/winter is gone and spring is here/there are tides of people at night." In addition, Kunlun Mountain has a rich variety of folk activities. The annual March 15th temple fair is unprecedentedly grand, with busy traffic at the foot of the mountain and huge crowds of people on the mountain.
