Based on a report published by the Iranian daily Iran, "Gian" (Jian in Persian) is a Kurdish word meaning "the essence of being", and this valuable source is known as Gian mirage due to the extreme beauty of it and the surrounding area.

The neglected remote Gian mirage is located on a narrow road leading to Nahavand, flanked on each side by the remnants of the 20-hectare ancient Zagros forests, which provide an extremely beautiful perspective comprising a mountain, a forest, and vast flourishing plains to the west.

The road ends up at the intersection of three not-so-high mountains, considered as one of the most wonderful natural phenomena on display.

To observe the natural masterpiece of the Creation's architect, one should seek an outlet through the stony river bed westward. Once the stone parapet is reached, through the Azari stones and several meters away from its outskirts, the purest, coolest, and most fresh water is observed as boiling springs.

The boiling springs cover the river beds and parapets over a 20-meter radius, and under the present draught, 30 meters down the river the water is directed towards the vast plains and extensive flourishing gardens by a minimum of five millstones.

Hundreds of hectares of productive fields in Nahavand, forests, and dense gardens have been fully irrigated by Gian mirage. However, it is not the only god-granted gift to the residents of Nahavand, since a few kilometers away from Gian mirage, the large and abundant Gamasb river flows from the depth of mountain, analogous to Gian mirage at a ten-fold rate.

Robust trees may be observed along the river course where mirage water is flowing towards the city of Nahavand and tens of villages, and the age of some, according to the local agricultural experts, exceed thousands of years.

A group of 19 reporters dispatched to the area some time ago on a one-day visit to Malayer's vineyards, and the flourishing gardens of Nahavand, were taken aback by the beautiful scenery at the first glance, however a question soon popped into their minds as which organization administers the notable area.

Upon reaching the headspring through great difficulty, they found a semi-collapsed pool with fallen stones turned into a debris full of various discarded objects.

They were further taken aback by observing a robust tree, the diameter of whose lower trunk reached five meters, however to their surprise, they saw its middle set on fire. Though only a black internal crust is left from the 1000-year-old tree, it is still fresh and spreads its shade over the visiting guests, who are at times ungrateful to it.

Since the mirage area has a high slope, it should be flattened for visitors's rest. Regretfully, the stones laid around the pool are hundreds of years old, and no organization has so far taken on to repair it despite the abundance of stone and cement.

Nahavand's governor Khalili said, "Since Gian mirage is located 32 kms from Nahavand, it is out of the jurisdiction of Nahavand Municipality and the City Council, and the area falls under the jurisdiction of the Pastures and Forests Organization.

Considering that Hamedan province has recently been selected and introduced by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) as the province presenting the best tourism planning, it is not proper to expose such a wonderful touristic attraction to the local and foreign tourists in such a disastrous condition.
